As Athena saunters into the kitchen with a sassy meow, I send the invite to Everly, then add one more note. Max: You were right. Everly: Yes to movies and popcorn of course. Also, what am I right about? Tell me now. I scoop up the furball and snap a shot of her in my arms. I make sure she’s nice and snug against my bare biceps. I’m not above a little arm porn. I send the pic and a note. Max: I sent in the adoption paperwork for Athena.
