Mia was absolutely in love with her kitten. He was the biggest snuggler she'd ever seen, love to play, and, she was thrilled to realize, understood the concept of a litter box. She was in the midst of leading him around her room with a string, which he chased after with serious gusto, when she heard the door.
Opting to leave her fluffball alone for a moment, she hurried down the stairs and pulled the door open to reveal Sam. "Hey!" she greeted cheerfully. It had been a while since she had seen him, honestly, and she thought she might have seen Tino just as much, if not more, which was... not something she was willing to go into with Sam standing in front of her.
She grinned broadly and stepped forward, stretching up on her tip toes to press a small kiss to his lips. "I've missed you."
