She was watching people come and go.
All sorts of people came through. Sometimes, a man, other times a woman, but mostly small groups; families. They were all interested to see what was on offer. Of course, the place was primarily about rescue. However, not too many of them looked as though they were in any way desperate to be rescued. It was quite annoying to watch them stroll past with only a mild sense of desperation about them. She considered that many of them were just going through the paces. Anyway, the centre would be closing soon and the nice girl would appear from somewhere out the back with their food.
Then, it happened. A woman, in her late fifties, nicely dressed, but looking quite forlorn. She had the look. Yes, definitely on a serious mission. A person that, without doubt, could very well suit her.
She approached directly. No hesitation. She asked someone if she could hold me. Moments later, the girl appeared and the woman was cradling me in her arms and softly whispering to me.
I purred as loud as I could.
She looked at the girl and nodded with a smile.
One more lonely human rescued.
