She hears a sound, feet on dry leaves. The footsteps are light and they remind the kitten of her boy.
Her boy.
With the reddish hair, the kind smile. Her boy, with his hats and quiet fingers.
The kitten runs, her little legs sprinting across the ground. It's her boy. He's come to rescue her. She just knows it.
It is not her boy. He is taller, hair darker, eyes not sadder - but maybe angrier. She backpedals, but the new boy has already reached down and picked her up.
"Hello." He says, a word that the kitten recognizes. It's friendly, not as intimidating as his appearance might lead her to believe.
"You look like you need a home."
Home.
To go home.
Yes, that would be nice
