The First Thing

The first thing he wants to do when he gets out of prison, Yomial decides, is run over to a certain detective's house and hug a certain cat.

Hugging his fiancée (10 years in prison and not once did she consider breaking their engagement!), however, is good enough. It's thanks to said cat, after all, that he's able to do so.

Besides, it hardly matters if it's the first or second thing he does (it actually turns out to be the third thing, the second being explaining to his fiancée why he's going over to a detective's house to hug a cat).
