“Tell me something less significant,
Something about our biology, for instance,
About what you hear while sitting under the tree,
About lonely lions in the prairies;
Forget decorated generals;
Tell me about Private Ryan's,
Tell me something only you know
And make a new friend.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

“He had large hazel eyes. They looked at you but, somehow, they didn't seem to see you. They looked right through you. The other thing I noticed about Rajiv were his ears, and how they jutted out from the sides of his head. Could anyone blame me for thinking he was ugly?”
― Janet Olearski, The Boy Who Never Smiled

“Floyd hopped up on the loveseat next to me.
"Hi, pal," I said, feeling a little drained. "Your mom should be back soon."
His meow sounded like a whine.
"I know the feeling. But maybe I can help you out?"
When I went to the kitchen and cut up a scallop, he meowed again and went up on his hind legs, begging.
"Did you just twirl?" I said, astonished.
I sat back down on the sofa and put my hand out, and he became a little furry seafood vacuum.
"I didn't know you could purr as you ate. That's kind of amazing."
He headbutted my empty hand, and I took a hint and ran it through his silky fur. I dug my fingertips around his ears and chin, and he closed his eyes and purred even more loudly.
"Such a good boy," I said, feeling a little better. "You like that? Is that, oof!" His big back feet drove the air out of me while he climbed onto my chest. "Jesus, cat, at least buy me a drink first." He ignored my smartass comment and stretched out from my thighs to my shoulders.
"I guess this is me now. Your throne, forever."
Green-gold eyes blinked slowly.
"Are you smiling?"
He rested his head under my chin and sighed.
We hadn't had animals when I was a kid. Too messy, Mom said. Too needy,
Dad said.
But maybe this was the upside of being needed. Quiet, sweet moments like this one. "OK," I told him. "Just for a little bit."

Was Kieran crooning? Maybe the wall of the cottage was distorting his voice?
"That feels so good, doesn't it, bud? Such a big, nice cat. Yes, you are."
Yes, he was. He rubbed Floyd's cheeks and my cat melted for him like fluffy butter.”

“Beside her, the sea serpent trumpeted back. He dove through the waves like a dolphin breaching, and his iridescent scales glistened in the sun. Back in the water, his wounds were washed clean, and she could see they hadn’t been deep— scrapes from his attempts to free himself from the rocks. Not much worse than her knee.
“You’re welcome,” she called, “and thank you!”
She had no idea how intelligent sea serpents were, but the ride out from between the cliffs had to have been intentional. She’d saved him, so he returned the favor. “We’re even now!” Marin waved to him.
He propelled himself out of the water and arched in the air like a rainbow, before diving back between the waves. It was such a magnificent sight that she forgot to breathe, only remembering when his tail disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.”

“The sensation of making a new friend, which she hadn’t experienced for decades, came flooding back to her. It wasn’t dissimilar to that sense you had when you were falling in love that the world was opening out in front of you, but it was also distinct from that feeling. With a new friend, the world around you seemed subtly different. You discovered a new side to yourself. The change was only a minor one, and yet it set your heart singing. Now I’ve found her, Eriko thought, I’m not going to lose her. Having a female friend clarified her own contours and colors, gave her a feeling confidence in herself.”
― Polly Barton, Hooked
