I'm staying with Lexi and her sister Zoe for a few days. Over the last 6 months or so, Lexi and I have finally started becoming friends. I mean, we're definitely friends but Lexi wants to keep it a secret. She also wants to keep it a secret from me too, apparently. But after knowing her for many many years, I can finally pet her for multiple seconds at a time!!! Sometimes even double digit seconds!!! And she will randomly come and sit by me, just awkwardly sitting there, awkwardly telling me that this is her way of hanging out with a friend. I also know she's my friend because while I'm away at work, she will secretly go into my bedroom and lay on my clothes that I purposely leave out. I've never seen her laying on my clothes, but the flattened fabric covered in gray fur are pretty precise clues that she's been there. A few days ago, while I was home, I couldn't find her anywhere. I looked in every usual spot and finally realized that I hadn't checked the bedroom. I walked in to see her laying on my clothes that I had left on the bed. She saw me and was sort of in shock. And in the two seconds it took to get out my phone to photograph the proof, she jumped down and ran off. Strangely, she hasn't been back to my clothes since! It's like she's saying, "Nope that wasn't me. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not your friend. I don't love you." 😂
