I'm really sorry that we couldn't get around to movie night this past weekend, but the cat and then the wild animals.... Well, you know. But if you like, I think it should be all right more or less any night this week! Other than Friday, actually. I think Friday I have a prior engagement. But anything else!

Oh! Well it certainly doesn't have to be now... It's not as though the movies will vanish. Whenever you like.



[Several minutes later.]

Is everything all right?

Well, um, if there's anything you can think of that I can do to help, please let me know... Even if it's just "shut up and leave me alone"! If you need someone to report something anonymously to the police, I can do that, too.

Absolutely! I don't have an extra bed, but our couch is pretty comfortable, and we can always put Rook and Bishop in their crates for the night. They haven't acted up since Monday, but just in case. You're a little small for my clothes, but if you need to come over in a hurry I'm sure we can make it work. I think I've even got an extra toothbrush! You don't even need to let me know beforehand. Just come over, if you're in a rush. It won't be a problem, I promise.

Everyone should have a safe haven to run to if they need it. I don't know that I'll be the best at it, but I'll try.

...be careful, whatever is going on, ok?

Oh, don't apologize, dear. Just stay safe.
