The two of them chatted animatedly.
Perhaps Amelia was too focused on her conversation with Sylvia that she didn't realize the silly cat had crept up to her, nor did she see the cat's head dive into her coffee cup.
A moment later, after the cat licked some of Amelia's black coffee, continuous screams ensued in the study room.
The sound also awoke Bella, who had been sleeping in.
Instantly, the conversation in the room turned into the two cats' heart-wrenching meows as they chased each other.
Listening to this, Amelia felt as if something in her head was chasing itself around in circles.
She put her coffee on the side table, poured some water from a teapot into the palm of her hand, and let the silly cat lick it. It wasn't until the third time that the cat stopped.
As the screaming stopped, Amelia felt peace return to her ears.
Just as she was about to grab some tissues to wipe her hands, she saw them already being handed to her.
