Maggie rolled over and groaned. What was that noise? The phone? The doorbell? She squinted at the red numerals on her bedside clock, which read 4:58. It was the doorbell! Who rang someone’s doorbell at this time of the morning? An emergency? Cops? What? She swung her legs over the side of the bed and raced from the room and down the hall. She took the steps two at a time and almost threw herself at the door. She didn’t even bother to check the peephole to see who was on the other side of the door. She swung it open, and barked, “What? Do you know what time it is?”

Ted didn’t say a word; he kicked the door shut with his foot, grabbed her and kissed her until her teeth rattled. When he broke away, he stared down at Maggie, and said, “Say something, or I am outta here forever, and this time I mean it.”

“Do that again, that thing you do with your tongue,” was all Maggie could manage to say. Ted obliged.

When they broke apart the second time, Ted took charge. “It’s too cold in here. I’ll make a fire, you turn up the heat and make us something to eat and lots of coffee unless you want to skip all that and we head to the second floor now.”

Maggie blinked. Who was this guy who was suddenly in charge of her life? Whoever he was, she decided in that moment that she liked him. She turned and galloped up the steps, Ted right behind her. She flew to the bed, jumped on it as she was ripping at her pajamas. “What’s taking you so long?” she yelled as Ted tripped over his own feet.

The yellow cat hopped up on the bedroom chair and curled into a ball as he tried to shield his ears from the wild whooping sounds that filled the room. Eventually, he fell asleep when the room turned quiet.
