Marlowe gave a quick nod at Mister Monty’s suggestion, he was just so excited! A kitten! It’d be his kitten! Mummy had never let him have animals- and he really liked them….
Standing as still as he could, he nodded very curtly when Mister Cass said he had to take good care of it. “I will,” he made another jerky nod, holding out his hands, and when the kitten was in his hands he almost shook and pulled it close to him when Mister Cass let go. It was soft and fuzzy and it meowed at him.
Beaming he looked up at Mister Monty and bit his entire bottom lip. “Thank you Mister Cass!” He said tightly, trying hard to hold back the excitement, lightly petting the kitten.
When he said he needed to name it thought… Marlowe took in a breath. He did. He looked down at the kitten with bright blue eyes and it’s purring little body and he knew. “He’s Monster.” He gave a quick jerk of a nod. “He’s gonna grow up big and scare all the real monsters away.” And if his name was ‘Monster’ then it would even scare them mores.
