The sleek, silver cat, Luna, was already curled up on the couch, purring loudly. Ben couldn't help but smile whenever he saw Luna. He was totally devoted to the cat. He had been imagining his life with Luna for days, weeks even.

He knew his roommate, Sam, would be upset about the cat. Sam hated cats, and it was hard to imagine him appreciating the animal's presence.

Sam entered, saw the cat, and froze. "What…is that?" His voice was flat.

Ben braced himself. "Her name is Luna. She's… a friend." He tried to sound casual, but his voice betrayed his anxiety.

Sam's expression didn’t soften. "There is no way that thing is staying here."

The joy, so recently brimming, began to evaporate. Ben's chest felt tight.
