Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 321

From the entryway came a chorus of mewling sounds.

It was a rare day when Serena was working from home. Dressed in her cherry- print pajamas, she walked over to the front door, where Snuggle was pawing at it and meowing nonstop.

Its long tail curled around her calf, as if it was torn between the allure of flowers outside and the human who popped open its food cans every day. It clearly couldn't decide which it loved more.

Serena couldn't help but laugh. Snuggle had always been a wanderer at heart. Since she and Hugh were the only ones living on the top floor, she figured it'd be safe to let the little explorer out for a bit.

"Take a walk up here for now. I'll bring you downstairs after I finish reviewing the new project..."

Serena looked up, startled-only to lock eyes with Hugh, who looked just as surprised.
