As Leanne descended the stairs, she casually mentioned to Laura, “Hey, could you swap out my sheets and comforter later? They reek of booze.”

Laura, ladling out some of the fish chowder she had been simmering in the kitchen, chimed in, “Do you think it’s time to get the cat vaccinated?”

“I’ve already set up the appointment,” replied Leanne, sliding a loaf of bread into the toaster. “I’ll take him for his shots and a check-up this weekend, then I can drop him off at the neighbors’ in Building 12.”

Laura couldn’t hide her pride as she said, “The gentleman over there said he’s worried the kitten might get lonely, so he’s decided to adopt the mother cat too. It’ll be nice for them to keep each other company.”

“That’s great news.”
