She giggled and it was the cutest thing I've ever heard. We were laying on my bed, both of us on our phones. I desperately wanted to know what made her laugh but I didn't want to seem nosy. I look away from my phone and glance at her out of the side of my eye. She was beautiful. Something I never thought I'd admit. And no matter what I did, she was always on my mind. I knew it was bad. I was married and she herself was taken. I had always considered her a close friend and I didn't want to push boundaries. I glanced at the clock on my phone. 3pm. I sighed. 
"Do you want a cigarette I ask?"
She nods and we get up. 
I wish I could just figure out what I'm feeling. 
Maybe then I would be able to stop it before it's too late..

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
