>>10291772As she reaches her destination, a sudden wave of joy erupts in her chest as she sees Squeakie sitting at the door of her old place.
The lease hadn't expired yet, she didn't have the heart to stop paying the rent and abandon her pet.
He never let her pet him, but she loved him all the same, coming by every day or so to make sure he was fed.
Squeakie always ran away, but when she left food he would come back eventually and eat his dinner.
This time was different.
As Keron approached, he lifted his head.
After making a little squeak he ran towards her, climbed up her stockings then her skirt and into her pocket where the cheese was hidden.
A smile of triumph crept onto her face, maybe with just enough time and affection Keron would be able to win over anyone she wanted to get close to.
After fiddling with the lock and opening the door with her shoulder she walks into her old studio apartment.
The place had dust floating in the air.
None of her old belongings remained, other than the old mattress that she left when Skelly told her it wouldn't be needed.
Keron flopped down on the mattress and took Squeakie out of her pocket.
After placing him on her chest he began to clean himself.
The last thing she remembered was the rat coming closer to her face and sniffing her chin before she fell asleep.
