This was a great read CwC crew! I am looking forward to chapter 2! I especially like the description of Jasper retracting his claws from the steering wheel. Haha, excellent imagery!

This is really fun! I think it's a brilliant idea to have them go off on little adventures like this. It's a lovely premise with lots of possibilities, and it feels like a very natural progression of their regular conversations. And what a great cliffhanger at the end! Luvluvluv it! The end... 😎
