Summary: Geoffrey's acquired some fish.

064: Animals

Catherine followed the smell of freshly brewed coffee down the stairs and into the kitchen. Geoffrey and the coffeepot sat on the counter.

“Good morning,” she said to the coffee.

“Good morning,” Geoffrey said to her.

“Good morning,” she replied.

He rolled his eyes and poured her a cup.

“Thanks.”

Catherine found a chair and sat in it. Geoffrey remained on the countertop. She wasn’t a morning person and he wasn’t keen on getting his ass chewed so early.

Especially when she discovered the fish on the table.

“Geoffrey… What is that?” she asked, suddenly very awake.

“It’s a fish tank.”

“With fish in it.”

“Yes.”

“And it’s yours?”

He almost decided to play with her. “No. My friend’s moving so I’m keeping his fish for him.”

She raised an eyebrow. “You know cats and fish don’t mix, right?”

“Which is why your cat lives at your place and the fish are staying with me.”

She blinked and fit the pieces together. “Right. That.”

Geoffrey sighed. “Drink your coffee.”
