KarenW859:WITH A WOMAN!

TeaTimeSue:And a BLACK CAT. I rewound it three times.

I exhale slowly. “Jesus Christ.”

He keeps going.

JaniceTJustCurious:I didn’t even know he liked people, let alone cats.

MarkDJustSaying:Is this the same Sebastian Locke who didn’t come to the block party?

Ivy makes a strangled sound somewhere between laughter and delight. “I’m obsessed.”

Drew snorts. “There are forty-seven comments. Someone zoomed in on your sweatshirt, Ivy.”

HeatherLDetailsMatter:Someone zoomed in—pretty sure the woman was wearing one of his sweatshirts.

LindaPLovesTea:I’m sorry but this is the most exciting thing that’s happened on Old Mill Row in YEARS.

Drew adds, “Oh—and someone started a poll about whether the cat is yours or hers.”

Ivy grins. “He chose Sebastian over me.” She looks down at the cat. “Traitor.”

I wiggle my brows at her. “He has good taste.”

She snorts, but the sparkle in her eyes says she agrees.

But my happiness is short-lived. One look at the comments in the Facebook group and my mood sours.

The thing is—I expect to feel exposed. Irritated. Defensive.

Instead, I feel… resigned.

And, disturbingly, a little amused.

TomR_RingCam:Poll idea:

Thumbs up:Cat is his

Heart:Cat is hers

Cat Emogi:Cat was kidnapped

KarenW859:I voted “cat chose him.”

Anonymous Member:Has anyone checked if this means Halloween decorations are allowed again?

TeaTimeSue:I just want to know the cat’s name.

Admin (Old Mill Row HOA): Please remember to keep comments respectful and avoid speculation.

MarkDJustSaying:Too late.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “I should have stayed masked.”

Ivy beams at me, completely unapologetic. “Too late. You’ve been domesticated.”

“Masked?” Drew’s eyebrows are raised.
