"I do think you are very…not caring."said Helena. "And see? Even my Mina agrees with me."
She gestured toward a white, blue eyed cat who purred.
Dana looked at the cat irritably, as it purred. It seemed to confirm Helena's statement.
Dana was not a cat person. She didn't exactly like animals too much, and especially not cats. Not these cats.
Normally, she would have shooed it away, but this one refused to leave, and it settled on Helena's lap. She also had another one who stretched across her shoulders.
Helena seemed to read her expression and stiffened. Dana could tell Helena was not happy at the way she was looking at her cat. Helena took anything having to do with her cats very personally, and glared in Dana's direction.
Noticing this, the cats also turned their eyes towards her. Under the three pairs of unblinking eyes, one a soft blue, another a deeper blue, and one golden, and although neither cat growled or hissed, Dana looked away.
After Helena and both of her cats relaxed, Dana spoke.
"I do care."she said.
"He vanishes. Suddenly. I don't think that's quite normal. No explanation, either."
Lately, Helena seemed to have noticed that Terry did disappear, and sometimes came up with the lamest excuses she had said.
Dana didn't exactly blame her. She had been just as confused as Helena was now. Until Terry had told her.
"And if it were me, I would at least have hired a private investigator. Although it's more likely that I would stalk him myself, of course."
"I think you definitely would have stalked him. You're the most obsessive person I know."
Helena seemed to consider that for a while.
"I am."she finally said. "But you must be extremely self confident, if you continue. I'd be convinced he saw someone else."
Dana rolled her eyes.
"It's so like you to think that. And you'd make their lives a living hell, too."
Even though she always looked so perfectly self controlled, Dana knew Helena to be one of the most emotional people she'd met.
"I would at the very least come up with some way to hurt him as much, if not more than, he hurt me."said Helena, grimly. "No one would ever think to make a fool of me. But we must go."Helena stood up.
She always talked in plural, including her cats.
As usual, at any sign from Helena, which only she and they could understand, they shifted in position. Probably to be more comfortable while Helena walked.
"We must not take up much of your time. Or ours."
