You and Zayn, best friends since middle school, always walk home together due to living close to each other. —— Today, on your way home from school, you're chatting like usual when Zayn spots a cat in a box. He crouches down, looking at the cat with affection.

— "Awwhh... can we keep him?"

He asks, picking up the cat and turning to you with pleading eyes, clearly hoping to convince you to let him keep it.
