Seamus bends over the hole and lowers his arm inside, moving slowly and with purpose so as not to frighten the little kitten.
There’s such gentleness in the movement—something I wouldn’t have expected from a man like him, and emotion clogs my throat as he lifts the little cat out. It’s small and fuzzy and filthy, covered in dust and probably asbestos and who knows what else. It’s a miracle that she’s alive.
I go to take the kitten from him, and he holds her to his chest.
Smirking at me, he says, “Not so fast. I want shared custody.”
“Excuse me,” I say, putting a hand to my hip. “Shadow does not come from a broken home.”
“How traditional of you. But I’ll be going for 50-50 custody.
”I raise my eyebrows at him. “And who’s your lawyer?”
“You. You’re going to have a real fight with yourself over this one.”
A warm fondness fills me up, making me woozy. I don’t want to like him like this, but only my skin is stone, and he’s already gotten under it. I like that he wants to do this together, even if it makes no sense since we neither live together nor are a couple.
“Do you honestly want to share her?
”He holds my gaze and nods. “Yes, but that might be the concussion talking. I’ve never had a pet.”
“I ki//ed a succulent.
”He raises the little kitten up in his arm. “You, Shadow, are probably screwed. I’m guessing getting sprung from that wall was the worst thing that ever happened to you.”
