On Celia Long’s first full day in Turkey, she was adopted by a cat, though she wouldn’t know it until later.
It was the last thing she had expected to happen; it wasn’t as if it fit with the nature of her short-term contracts and the set of rules she lived by. And that set of rules had been serving her just fine for nearly a decade.
Celia had always loved animals, from the rabbits and dogs that had played such a big role in her childhood to her friends’ cats that often chose to sit on her lap when they watched movies together. No, she would have loved to have a pet—a dog, a cat, a hamster…if only she would have known that she was going to be in one place long enough to give the animal the commitment it deserved.
And that was why Celia had never bent her rules. It was also why Istanbul, from the first moment she had arrived, had seemed like paradise. Everywhere she walked, there were friendly cats on the street. They were sleeping on vacant chairs at restaurants, enjoying the sunshine next to the Blue Mosque, befriending the fishermen on the Bosphorus in hopes of sharing a fresh catch.
Celia had accepted the contract at Aslanbey Holding in part because the salary was so good—a requirement for every contract she took—but also for the opportunity to spend some time in Istanbul. She had built the city up in her mind to such expectations that the real thing couldn’t possibly compete.
