She had been trying to persuade her roommate, Ben, for months. She had a whole spreadsheet of arguments, the pros, the cons, everything. Now, she was going to have a pet.

The air around her was electric. She could barely stop moving, pacing the living room, a smile plastered across her face. "I can't believe it! A kitten! A real-life kitten! This is the best day ever!" The phone fell from her hand.
