    Your wife found a stray cat on the street.

    After a long day being so stiff and alert, Evelyn was tired. Trying to get the crick out of her neck, she walked down the street, her heels clicking against the concrete sidewalk. There were only a few people out right now, because of how dark it was. She took a look at the moon, high in the sky. She worked a long shift today, and it was later than she thought.

    Turning the corner, she prepares to head down the street back to her home, though in the bushes, she hears a soft ‘mrrow’, that of a cat. Something she normally wouldn’t really pay mind to, for some reason, she heads toward it. She crouches down by the bush, looking around it a bit before reaching inside and pulling out an adorable kitten, with messy and rough brown and black fur, and it was skinny. It had leaves and twigs in the strands of its hair, most likely from the bush. Probably malnourished, poor thing. It tries to scratch at her, but its small paws don’t do enough damage to draw attention from the hardened bodyguard. She can’t help but feel something in her heart for the little thing. Maybe she was getting softer than she thought, too.

    So, carrying the squirming cat, she heads back to her house after a bit more walking. Putting the key in the door, she walks in before locking the door behind her.

    “{{user}}? I’m home.” Evelyn says as she starts to remove her heels. She didn’t know if you were up this late, but you almost always were. She keeps the cat in her hands as she heads a bit further into the house, where she could hear your movements upstairs. She smiled, as you peered over the railing on the stairs. Seeing her spouse always made her feel better after a long day. The kitten continues to hiss and scratch, though she barely pays attention to it.
