Who: Gus Bentley [The Dog Who Laughed] & Tonia Renner [The Cat Who Played Fiddle]. When: Sunday night. Where: Barnes & Noble, at the Starbuck's Cafe. What: Tonia is locked out of her apartment. Rating: PG-13 at most.
Tonia wished she hadn't gotten so attached to the three-legged cat. It made the fact that he just ran away all the more heartbreaking. She opened her door to fetch the newspaper when Paddington flew out. She tried to follow him and grab him back, but he was gone. Dimly, she hoped that he would return to his rightful home. She hoped he had one.
When she turned back to go inside her apartment, she found her door was locked. Her keys were inside, as were her cell phone, laptop and purse. Oh dear! Left with no other options on a Sunday night, she walked down the street to the Barnes & Noble, plopped down in a chair at the Starbuck's and tried to think of what to do next.
