He must be feeling refreshed, because out of nowhere, he announces, “I’m about to kiss you all over” and approaches me. Well, this is an interesting turn of events. It’s not even the weekend! I close my eyes and tilt up my chin and . . . I feel him sweep up my Devon rex cat, Chairman Meow, from his perch on my shoulder. Miles hugs the cat tightly, planting a series of dry pecks all over his pointy face and abnormally large ears.
