Romeo and Juliet



Romeo lives across the street from me in one of the many tall/skinny Dutch townhouses in my 'hood. He usually goes in and out through a basement window, but often when I come home he is stuck outside. He looks at me expectantly, but then dashes off when I come too close.


Juliet lives next door, and I've never seen her outside. This morning Romeo was in his usual spot by the bike rack, and he was miaowing to Julie, jumping on and off the window sill, trying to get to his girl behind the window. Then Julie's mom came and clapped Romeo away, but he lingered under a car, eyeing me with suspicion, waiting for a second try.
