\u201cI put everyone off,\u201d Loki said evenly. \u00a0\u201dbut you offered to teach me something I need to know\u2014only a fool would ignore such an offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou, of course, are never foolish,\u201d Summer drawled. \u201cWell, come in, sit down. Be welcome to my home, such as it is, and be at ease in it. D\u2019you want something to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n

Inwardly she sighed. How was it she always got caught up in the broken ones, the ones who held everyone at arms\u2019 length? \u2018You can\u2019t afford to go into anyone like that again,\u2019 she reminded herself, picking up the bag of kitty treats and weighing it in the palm of one hand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He stepped inside and stood with his hands in his trouser pockets looking, if anything, a little awkward.\u00a0
\u201cYou are generous with your welcome, Miss. \u00a0I do not require refreshment, however.\u201d \u00a0He eyed the bag of kitty treats\u2014and then let his eyes wander curiously over the rest of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was actually a fairly large space, for New York, but crowded with bookshelves and electronics. A pile of pillows stood in for a couch, and a round papasan chair held pride of place before the widescreen tv, though the stack of books implied other entertainment. A tall, carpet-covered climbing tree, many-ledged, took up the space before one window, and a hallway led off on the opposite side.<\/p>\n

No cats were actually in evidence anymore. Summer shrugged. “I’ll go ahead and do the magic trick, then.” She\u00a0called out, “Kitties!” and crinkled the bag a few times before opening it, and what seemed to be a thundering rush of cats poured out of every available opening.<\/p>\n

As she knelt down in the midst of the waving tails, the clowder resolved itself into four: a brown tabby, a blue-eyed silver tabby, a tiny tortoiseshell, and a huge seal-point and white longhair. She began to distribute treats from the crinkly bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
