A man in a suit was coming over. Mr. and Mrs. Swales got out of the car and shook hands with him. The real estate agent unlocked the house, and Rosie and Flame followed him and her parents inside.

As she wandered through the downstairs rooms, Flame sniffed around, nosing into corners and looking at everything with his bright green eyes.

“What do you think of it? It’s horrible, isn’t it?” Rosie whispered to him.

He blinked up at her. “I think this house is a good, safe place.”

“Really?” Rosie said, cheering up a tiny bit.

It must be okay if Flame liked it. Maybe living here wasn’t going to be too bad, especially with Flame as her friend, and Daisy, too. If only there was some way she could keep all her pets.

Upstairs, the bathroom and bedrooms were neat and freshly painted. Rosie’s new bedroom had bookshelves on the white walls and a closet for her clothes. From the window she could see into Mrs. Galloni’s backyard with its tall trees and enormous garden shed.

Rosie’s mom came and stood next to her. “Well? What do you think? Do you like your new bedroom?”

“It’s all right. Except for it being the size of a shoebox.” In fact Rosie was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was, but she wasn’t ready to say so. “I bet I could squeeze Midge and Podge’s cage in here,” she said casually.

“Don’t start that again please, Rosie,” her mom warned.

“But I’ve hardly even said anything—” Rosie began indignantly.

Her dad appeared in the doorway. “Having a good talk, you two? Rosie, your mom and I have a few things to discuss with the real estate agent. Do you want to wait in the car and read your book?”

Rosie nodded. Flame followed her as she went downstairs and out into the street. She was about to cross the road, when she spotted a large orange cat sitting on Mrs. Galloni’s front step. It was wearing a bright blue velvet collar with a gold bell.

“Ooh, look, an orange tabby. Isn’t he gorgeous? Let’s go and say hello!”

Flame scampered after her as Rosie bent down to stroke the orange cat. “Hello there. I wonder what you’re called. We’re going to be neighbors,” she said in a friendly voice.
