Startled

11:01 p.m. Alice and I sit on the bed. I watch her paw gently at the thick wool blanket. Suddenly the door creaks open and she lunges, startled, whole body swerving to her left to catch a glimpse of the intruder. She’s been hungry for attention. Now she purrs. The day poured rain in some moments. Winds picking up. Temperature dropping rapidly.
