"That's it? You didn't have any . . . intuition . . . or vision, or something . . . that led you there?"
"Nope. It was pure coincidence." Well, some people say there is no such thing, but Mel didn't need to know that.
"I knew it. I told Libby there wasn't any funny stuff behind you two showing up there, but I don't think she believed me. She seemed to think it was awfully strange coming upon you there. You know. Especially after what we found out about you and your boss . . . well, can you blame us for wondering?"
Actually, I couldn't. I must be mellowing. "Listen, Mel, as long as everything's okay for now, I'm going to have to let you go. I need to get in to work."
"Oh. Okay. Should I call you if anything--you know--odd happens?"
"Definitely. And hopefully I'll have an answer for your problem today. Until then, hang tight."
Relieved, I pressed the End key before she could think of anything else. As always when I got off the phone with my sister, I felt as though all my energy had drained out through my feet. I didn't know why. Maybe it was just a deficit of my own quirky personality. I sighed deeply and turned to the kitten, who had gotten bored through my lack of attention and gone to sleep on the passenger seat. "Well, little one. If Liss hasn't given up on me entirely, maybe we could go in now, hm?"
I tucked her inside my purse again so that I could carry in her few necessities without making another trip. Her fuzzy head popped out the front end as I walked, sleep forgotten as she watched our progress with bright eyes. It amazed me that I already felt such a bond with this tiny bit of fluff and energy. She'd been in my life only around twelve hours now, and already I felt like a mom.
"There you are!" Liss said as I--we--came through the back door. She held out her arms to take the bag. "Here, why don't you give me that and bring the little dear in here. My goodness me, just look at her."
I grinned and held her aloft in both hands. "She is a beauty, isn't she?"
"She's brilliant. Here, I took it upon myself to have the hardware store send a few things over for her, things I thought she'd need while she's here in the store."
The few things, I could have sworn, turned out to be half the cat supply aisle. Some of them were essentials--a litterbox, litter bags, the most expensive kind of cat food money could buy that wasn't freshly steamed chicken breast--while others, like the Krazy Kitty Kubicle set, probably were not. Though I was sure the kitten would be more than happy to put it to good use. She was already down on the floor, sniffing at all of her newfound booty.
Liss was happily unpacking things and setting them up where she thought they would get the most use.
