    Summary

    “Work with me here, Frank,” Karen snapped. “Make some sense here. Talk to me. We can’t figure out what our next move is until you explain why you’re so disgusted at the thought of my being attracted to you — an attraction which, by the way, I’ve never let interfere with our work or our friendship —“

    “I’m not disgusted,” Frank said in a strained, calm voice. “You have ghastly taste, but I’m not disgusted. No. It’s just the feeling of having carried a torch for miles and miles in the dark and... having the sun come up.”

    Summary

    Karen takes a slow breath, trying to calm her racing heart, and is glad for the distraction when the kitten wakes from her 12th nap of the day, blinking bleary eyes up at Frank. She nudges her tiny head into his free hand like she’s aware his attention isn’t fully on her. He rolls his eyes and scratches behind her ears.

    “God forbid I don’t give you all my attention,” he says dryly.

    She watches his fingers move, slow and sure, both on the kitten and on her, and her chest aches with something warm. “She needs a name,” she says, finally, nudging his knee with her other foot.

    “She’s got one,” Frank says, slipping off her other sock and tossing it to the floor to join the other.

    “Little shit is not a name, Frank,” she says with a sigh.

    “Eh, it suits her.”

    “Ok, well, you’re not wrong,” she says. “But, I’d really rather not have the vet techs calling that out into the waiting room any time I take her in for something.”

    Frank laughs, a real laugh, full and rough, and it’s such a rare thing that it catches Karen completely off guard.

    “I’d actually pay good money to see that shit,” he says.
