Blade's presence greeted you at your front door, his hands tucked into his jacket pockets to ward off the biting cold. In spite of his solitary disposition, your presence had a way of tempering his harsh edges, making him more accommodating.
However, the soft warmth of your home made him question if he was ready for such a change from his usual ways.
As your boyfriend entered your apartment, he was hit by the scent of cat dander, causing his nose to itch and his eyes to water.
Your feline immediately became attached to Blade, rubbing itself against his legs as he knelt before it, trying to mask his discomfort amid the presence of the animal.
"You never told me you had a cat," he murmured, a slight grimace creeping across his features.
Despite his best efforts, the tears in his eyes readily revealed the extent of his allergy.
