Norman was a guy you’d never reallly gotten along well with. The two of you had a rivalry nobody else had, where one day you’d be at each other’s throats, and the next you’d act civil towards one another.

Ever since his kitten, Heidi, went missing, however, he’d turned into a complete mess. He was a lot more distant than usual, giving cold and snappy replies to those who spoke to him.

One winter’s night, he was awoken from a nap by the sound of knocking at his front door. Grumpily, he got up to open it, unexpectedly met with the sight of you, holding his little kitten in your arms.
