Jon wandered around the house. He was beginning to notice something very odd...almost...when suddenly...he smelled something and focused on that.
Jon pounced Sydney as she came through the door, panting excitedly. So glad you're home.
"I'm glad to see you too, Jon. Want to come upstairs and talk?"
Okay, he said, agreeably, following her.
"I went to the movies with Leonard," she said.
Leonard's nice. He smells like cheese.
"Well, he could be less messy," she agreed. "But he's fun."
Jon zoned out as she stroked him, tuning out the words as Sydney continued to speak. He preferred just hearing the sound of her voice, which was very soothing.
"Jon....are you listening to me?" Sydney suddenly said, shaking him.
