It was a cat that held a tiny umbrella and looked at Jenny with the expression of an accountant who has just discovered a math error from 1987. The cat nodded once, pointed a paw down the path, and vanished into a puff of lavender smoke.
From that day on, Jenny had two lives: her ordinary one (school, dinner, 1,247 steps) and her odd one (Thursdays with Glitch, the tree librarian, and the occasional vending machine purchase of Tangy Regret).
