Patient Hostess

I was the intruder, and she was very kind. She treated me like I was a new friend, very kind, and patient, watching waiting to see if I was going to do something to ruin the friendship and drive her off. After just a little while she started to stretch and look around, paying attention to others besides me. And you know, I didn't feel offended. I took it as a great compliment. She relaxed enough to allow me to see her scratch behind her ears.
