This was Penny's cat? He looked at the animal as if seeking out some sign of its former owner, all the while his hand began to tremble on the doorknob. The slamming of a door down the hall tore him out of his stare, and he realized he was being quite rude.
"Please, come in Miss Greengrass," he said, holding a hand out to usher her into his office. "Would you like a cup of tea?"
Has this girl been to Penny's flat? Had the Clearwaters really said that the cat should go to him? He reached out, allowing the cat to gain his scent. If they wanted him to care for it, he would. It was the least he could do for her.
