She didn’t even twitch.
From the shadows, Fluff slinked forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes.He circled her once, assessing the situation, then darted off toward the bathroom.

Fluff dropped the bucket and pranced away victoriously, his laughter echoing through the room.

"Fluff! You can’t escape from me! I swear I’ll give you a bath!"
