Black Cats

"Thanks for lunch," said Jess.

"You're welcome," said Becker, smiling.

"Look, a kitty," said Jess.

"Get away!"

"Becker, why you did scare it?"

"I hate cats. Their eyes shine menacingly at night, not natural. Don't laugh at me."

"Sorry." She kept laughing though. "Cats are sweet. I especially like black ones."

"What are you, a witch?"

"Maybe, are you scared of me?"

"I'm not scared. I just don't like them."

On Halloween, Becker strolled to the ADD.

"Hi," said Jess, wearing a black mini dress, cat ears and tail.

"Nice costume."

"You hate cats."

"I'll make an exception."
