I stood at the window of my tiny farmhouse sipping a strong cup of
coffee as the sun slowly rose on the horizon. My fluffy black cat, Katie
(Purry), perched on the windowsill, her tail whipping back and forth.
She made little chirps in her throat as she imagined herself hunting the birds
pecking their way across the side lawn.

“You get ‘em, girl,” I said, and she twitched on the windowsill, shooting
me a look full of scorn, as if by speaking, I’d scare her prey away.
An indoor cat, her prey was safe for now.
Once the pink rays had faded from the sky and my cup was empty, I
gave her a quick pat and placed the mug in the sink. I strode through the
cozy farmhouse I’d inherited from my deceased grandmother, entering my
bedroom to get ready for work.
Katie scampered behind me, jumping up onto my bed and flopping with
a heavy sigh. She rolled onto her back, exposing her big belly for rubs.
“Silly girl.” Leaning close, I stroked her fur. “Look at that chonky
tummy. So cute!” I’d inherited Katie from my grandmother, along with the
farmhouse in decent shape, a barn in not-so-decent shape, plus fifty acres of
overgrown fields and woods. Katie was a bit feral when I arrived, but once I
brought her inside and fed her lots of treats, she turned into the spoiled kitty
she was born to be.
Until a month ago, I’d lived in a city and managed a bookstore. My
inheritance offered me a new start after my divorce. I’d recently rented a
storefront downtown and fulfilled my lifelong dream of opening my own
bookstore.
Romance books only. Sorry, guys, but you could buy your military hero
books elsewhere.
Fortunately, my old job had paid well, and I’d saved all I could. Added
to what Grannie left me, which wasn’t a lot, I had enough money to cover
my expenses for a few months until my bookstore took off.
Which it would, because . . . romance. Who didn’t want to read about
true love?
Katie and I lived a simple life. Sometimes I longed for someone kind to
share it with me, but what I was doing now fulfilled me in ways I’d never
thought possible. I could make peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies and eat
five if I wanted to. I could lounge around on Sunday in leggings and a tshirt without being told I needed to “dress nicely”. Both things my ex had
frowned upon.
After lying on the bed beside Katie and giving her lots of pats, I rose
and booped her nose—she swiped at my hand.
“Missed. Ha.” With a grin, I strode through the house and out to the big
barn where my grandfather used to restore old cars for a living, and climbed
into my vehicle parked inside. I drove into town, parking behind the
building housing my bookstore. Inside, I flipped the Closed sign to Open
and started straightening shelves.
