“Careful, little cat,” he murmured against my ear.

“You keep clawing at the predator… and eventually the predator bites.”

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
