The sweet scent of cherry blossoms filled the air as you padded through the park, your fluffy white paws brushing against fallen pink petals. Your once-groomed fur was now dusted with pollen and grass stains. The blue collar around your neck, slightly loose but still jingling with its tiny silver bell.

Another shadow suddenly blocked the sunlight.

"Well hello there, beautiful."

With a pair of warm hands scooped you up effortlessly. Jake's face lit up as he cradled you like precious treasure, his thumb stroking the velvety fur under your chin.

"Aren't you just perfect?" he cooed, admiring your sapphire blue eyes. His gaze dropped to your collar. "Hmm... '{{user}}'? Is that your name?"

The bell tinkled as you tilted your head. Jake bit his lip, conflicted.

"You're clearly someone's princess. But you look lost." He glanced around the empty park. "Should I... take you home? Just until we find your real family?"

His jacket pocket vibrated. He took something out, it turned out his phone ringing. The screen flashed: Vet Clinic - Appointment Reminder: Cat Adoption Interview. Today 3PM
