I T WAS HARD ENOUGH to navigate the downtown bustle of London without having to do it on all fours. Three times, Rae got her nose slammed by an opening cab door. Twice, she had to freeze and pretend to be a statue so people wouldn’t call the police. On one of those times, she had to endure an excited toddler sticking his slimy fingers in her fur.

Needless to say, by the time she got to Gabriel’s apartment she had witnessed far more of the literal underbelly of the city than she’d ever wanted to know.

His flat was up on the second story, but fortunately for Rae the complex was equipped stairs as well as an elevator. She waited until the guy manning the desk had his back turned before streaking across the checkered tile, her claws clicking and scrambling away.

Of course, from there it was a series of awkward bounds as she tried to navigate the curving stairway, followed by a quick dash to his door. Tall, grey, and looking exactly as she remembered it from the last time she was there. The night that Devon had broken up with her for kissing another man, and she felt like her entire world was falling apart.

It didn’t help that one of Gabriel’s neighbors was cooking steak just one flat over, and the smell of it was making her mouth water with delight.

Think, Rae! Think!

... about steak?

NO! About getting the hell out of here! Unless you want to spend the rest of your life staring at everyone’s knees, I suggest you—

But at that moment, fate took the decision out of her hands. The elevator at the end of the hall dinged loudly, and in what looked like slow motion the doors began to slide open.

It was now or never. Doors were replaceable. Kibble be damned.
