TC

At twenty-four, she works as a librarian at a small, charming library tucked away in one of England's oldest villages. Her life is peaceful, predictable and exactly how she likes it. She spends her mornings recommending novels, her afternoons restoring old books, and her evenings curled up in her little cottage with a cup of tea and her cat, Juno. Juno, however, has never been an ordinary cat. He is an exceptionally intelligent black cat with golden eyes, a suspiciously good memory and an independent streak that would make most humans reconsider their life choices. Y/N has spent years teaching him his boundaries, and somewhere along the way, she has accepted that Juno considers himself less of a pet and more of a tenant who pays rent in affection approximately twice a week. He is allowed to wander outside and return home because Y/N knows he remembers his way back. And, for the most part, he does. Until he starts disappearing overnight. At first, Y/N assumes he has discovered a particularly interesting garden or a neighbour who feeds him better treats. She doesn't panic. Juno has always had his own mind. But then, one Thursday afternoon, she returns home from work and discovers something unusual.
