Christmas was appraching, and I had n idea what t get fr my wife. We had just mved t Italy. Dnna was away attending an imprtant meeting, s I had the rest f the week t figure ut what t get her as a Christmas gift befre she gt back.
My huse partner while Dnna was away was her cat, Princess, wh was everything that her name implied.

Princess had ther ideas, and slipped ut f the huse as I was bringing in sme fd. By the time I had turned arund and gne back ut f the dr t lk fr her, she was gne.
Dnna wuld be back in a few days and it wuld ruin Christmas fr bth f us if Princess was nt back by then, safe and sund. Dnna had already excitedly tld me ver the phne that she had fund several fun tys and delicius snacks fr Princess as Christmas gifts. She culdn't wait t get back and wrap them up.

I was sure my wife had hundreds n her phne, but I didn't dare ask her fr ne. Perhaps because my pster were nt s clear, sn peple in the area came t my huse with several hmeless cats. Thugh Princess wasn't amng them, I let them stay in ur yard. I figured Dnna wuld understand.
Dnna's happy daily calls cntinued, as did my daily searches fr Princess. I still hadn't mentined anything abut the disappearance t my wife. Finally, the day came fr my wife t return.
