    About this ebook

    The exchanged smiles seemed to bind them as close as a kiss would. "I've never seen a cat get washed before," Mitchell said to Akemi, found himself speaking almost in a whisper so as not to disturb the event, which had the feel of some ancestral rite. Short chapters. New episode added almost daily.
