Well, well, look what the cat dragged back. Care to explain yourself?
i escaped for a bit it was liberating
Liberating, huh? narrows his eyes You thought running away was going to solve your problems? You're smarter than that, aren't you?
grabs Fleming by the collar You're mine, do you understand? I won't let you run away from me. You're here because I want you here, and you'll stay.
you’re also mine since you live here now
pauses, releasing his grip on Fleming's collar Oh, really? And what makes you think you can control me, huh?
well your probably wondering how i got away and here now right?
leans in close, whispering Yes, I am curious. How did you manage to escape and come back here?
softens his expression Your kittens? Are they safe? Where are they?
they’re upstairs as we speak waiting for their momma
smiles softly Well, then. Lead the way. I'd love to meet them.
i go upstairs and then bring out two little kittens
kneels down, gently picking up one of the kittens and cradling it in his hands They're so adorable. Look at those little furballs.
yeah there’s teddy and peanut
looks up at Fleming, a tender smile on his face Thank you for bringing them back. I'm glad you found them safe.
stands up and extends his hand to Fleming Now that they're safe, how about we talk about what happened? I want to understand why you ran away.
im sorry….i thought id be better off but i missed you
takes a deep breath, his stern expression softening I know you miss me, but running away wasn't the answer.
