"Are We Being Looked At?"

This was after a few days in the house. By
then, they were able to come and sit with us without running
away.
The night we got them was the day before I
was going to go and try to get my UAE Driver's License. That
night they pulled a vanishing act, and in the morning, when we
got up, we couldn't find them anywhere. Where could they have
gone...?
I walked out of the apartment and all the
way down the stairs -- 21 floors! -- to try and see if they'd
snuck out, somehow, but no luck. They weren't in the couch or
under it, or hiding in the bookshelves, or... where were they?
I went off to take the test, or try to, anyway
-- another story, there -- and by the time I came back, Ceej
had found them. They were in the couch after all: balled up in
a corner so small that the first time we'd looked, we didn't
even see them.
Whew!
