fireroseDrabble, set after 'Honor among Thieves' (S6)
Cats simply weren't suited to space stations. It meowed while Yoshi was sleeping, sharpened its claws on the table legs, escaped into the corridor when her hands were covered with rice flour for prawn dumplings, and shed white hairs all over the sofa just when she'd managed to get it clean after that little problem with Yoshi. She couldn't see what Miles saw in the animal!
In her heart, though, Keiko knew it wasn't the cat. It was the reminder that her husband had once chosen a stranger – a criminal! – over Yoshi, over Molly, over their marriage, and over her.
