" Tiger Balm?" Patrick asked as Mei-li held him. " Yes, come on in the back, I'll rub it on you." She said as she took Patrick into the back and removed his shirt. " Just relax sweetheart." Mei-li said soothingly as she rubbed it on him. Patrick closed his eyes. He never felt so good. After Mei li was done, she took patrick upstairs and helped him settle into a unoccupied room. " Here you are honey." She said in a sweet and motherly way. She sat him on his new bed and just stroked his back. Patrick felt so happy with having his back rubbed like that. He was oblivious to the changes that were happening. Tiger fur started to grow from his body as did a tail and sharp cub claws. He left out a tired tiger yawn as he curled up next to Mei-li. Mei-li held Patrick in a motherly way as he drifted off to sleep.
