"Fuck, whenever you're in my arms, I feel like I might crush you. You're so delicate," he said, kissing her cheek.
"Huh?"
"It took me three years to hug you, and today you let him hug you...

“Awww, my Ruby baby, Mama missed you!” Lili exclaimed as soon as she got home from university, scooping up the cat in her arms. I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of irritation.
I really wanted to throw this cat out, but Lili was so attached to it that I knew she would get sad and cry if I did. So, I had to keep my mouth shut, even though it felt like this little creature was stealing her attention from me.
“Lili, water,” I said, trying to get her to remember the simple things. Ever since this cat arrived, I had to ask for everything. I knew I could get water myself, but it frustrated me that she seemed to forget about me in the process.
“Here,” she said, handing me a glass. I took a sip, feeling a mix of relief and annoyance.
“Listen, let’s go out for dinner,” I suggested, hoping to carve out some time for just the two of us.
“Where?” she asked, her eyes lighting up.
“That Italian restaurant we went to last time,” I replied, picturing the cozy atmosphere and delicious food.
“No, we can’t go there,” she said, and my heart sank.
“Why?” I asked, feeling my frustration mount.
“Because cats aren’t allowed, na?” she answered, looking at me as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “Lili, we can’t let Ruby dictate our lives. We used to have fun going out together. Can’t you just leave her for a couple of hours?”
She frowned, glancing down at Ruby, who was now purring contentedly in her arms. “I don’t want to leave her alone. What if she gets scared?”
“Seriously?” I said, exasperated. “You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s just a cat!”
“But she needs us!” Lili insisted, her voice softening.
“Lili, I need you too!” I shot back, the desperation creeping into my tone.
She paused, looking at me with those big eyes that always melted my heart. “I know, I just… I want to take care of her.”
