Julie finished the dishes as everyone got back into their routine. Once the dishes were finished and she'd dried her hands off she walked into the living room to see Mao. She felt her lips turn up into a small smile as her tail wrapped around her waist. "Oh Mao...Do you miss Kevin?" she purred, her lips pulled down into a small pout. She walked over to the sofa, watching Mao play with herself for a moment. She lifted her paw to lightly pat Mao's head. "Hmm...hopefully Jason will warm up and play with you..." she said with a warm tone to her voice. Julie then stood up as Jason came back downstairs, she saw him ask Azrael if she needed a ride to work.<br/><br/>Julie moved around the living room, straightening things up and dusting off tables as she looked around for the book she'd been reading earlier. "I thought I put it..." she placed a finger to her chin and then smiled,"OH!" she left the living room and then returned with her book. Julie sat down on the sofa near Mao and opened her book, quietly reading to herself. Her tail had unwrapped itself and now laid lightly at her side, twitching occasionally as she read.
