Her words strike through me but I only just leveled my eyes and licked my lips.
"I see that nervous tick you still have"
"Trust me…"I pulled some strands of my hair behind my ear. "...It whopped out of me" My nervous tendencies were irritating even for me, constant biting of my lips and licking them. I was really glad they were off me, not completely though but it was manageable.
A soft meow sound came and we both looked out the window. I smiled instantly when I saw Tiger.
"There you are!" he came to me and hopped on my lap and I patted his head.
"Well if it isn't Tiger Jnr. I knew I saw a cat running around"
"It's Tiger" Tiger said grinning and Emilia froze. I guess she doesn't know Tiger can speak now.
