I think that right after “Murphy Harumphs” Its a tad unclear who “she” is. I had to reread it a couple times and continue on to found out Murphy was a girl before I realized she was the one suggesting it.
this works best if you picture Countess as a five year old girl, Nick as the older brother, and Murphy as the new step mom, or babysitter, or even older sister watching them.
The names made me think it was a pair of cats. Kinda funny depiction of that somewhat uncomfortable position of being friends with two people who aren’t really friends but coexist because of you.
