I'm Always Good When You're Gone

To Mila's surprise, Leo slept through the rest of the evening. Had he not slept at all earlier or something? She had expected she would need to entertain him. Not having to do that was nice. Coming up with cat-friendly activities he would understand and potentially enjoy was difficult. 

Bedtime was another trial though. Like the night before, he insisted on curling up in her arms the way he did when he was a cat. Her heart raced like crazy and it took her ages to fall asleep. 

Was she ever going to be able to get used to this? Having to snuggle, touch, and kiss the head of a handsome man like it was a perfectly normal thing to do with her cat was really freaking her out. 

Mila loved Leo with all her heart, which was the only reason she put up with it. She knew she should set some sort of boundaries but how was she supposed to enforce it after doing things a certain way for more than two decades?
