OMG LMAO@the cat joke!!! I was sitting in the computer lab and decided to see if you updated to give myself a break from work and when I got to that part, I BUSTED out laughing. Yeah, I got some wierd/not so nice looks. LOL And I agree that the letter was *very* touching and am glad to see Lena has long hair.
I think it's *so* cute how they tease each other with their playfullness.
Getting back to the cat (hehe)--so they can get a dog? Can it pleeeeeaaaasssseeeeee be a beagle? Not that I'm biased towards beagles or anything. <winks>
Well, as always, *wonderful* chapter Parrish and I can't wait for the next one!
