| A romantic day window shopping and dreaming of the future turns into a huge argument for Brian and Casey Hawthorn. She asks him to buy a kitten. Without thought his fears kick in and come out his mouth. Her reaction follows and he ends up walking out. After a night in a motel he's at the door with a gift, hoping she'll be able to forgive him and take him back.
Margo Hoornstra seems to be reminding us how easily simple things can turn into major battles between people. Most couples can probably relate to the situation of the characters. Dreaming of the future seems to be easy until that next step of actual commitment faces Brian. The kitten was a simple thing but Brian had to confront his fears and insecurities about much more than just a little four legged fur ball. A night of separation seems to be just the thing for him. This is a well told tale of a man facing his fears in a good way.
