Never!” The promise of not being bit meant she felt comfortable enough to squat down to pet the cat. Just as she was about to ask for its name, her ice cream fell out of its cone. Jade looked at the sand-covered cream, the cat, then up at the man and laughed. “So much is happening to me right now, I have no idea what to do anymore.” Though Jade was pouting, her tone of was still bright.
