My heart sunk and my stomach did flips when I heard a thump and looked over to see Lucita.

He and I had a ritual where he’d creep along the windows until he reached the desk. I’d groan about it but he’d find his space to my left where I’d stick my head in his soft furry belly and he’d kiss my forehead with that sandpaper tongue. I’m glad I have so many videos of us doing that silly thing.

I love her but she’s not him.
