OOM: Room #100, for Elle

Kate opens the door and drops her bags on the floor by her desk. By the time she's flicked on the light, two orange-and-cream tabby tomcats are running up, mrowing and blinking hard to adjust to the sudden brightness of the room.

"Hello, boys," Kate grins, giving them a gentle scoot with her boot to get them out of the doorway. "C'mon in, an' make yourself comfortable."

Kate steps into the room so Elle may follow, hanging her wearied old cowboy hat on a peg by the door.
