I just manage to hear Kimiko yell my name I laugh loudly before I leave Caden’s house and walk across the yard to the staff house. I find myself still smiling while I shower and don’t stop until I see myself smiling in the mirror. I scowl and finish getting ready.
I did tell myself I would try, but I don’t like the fact that I forgot I was trying. She was still annoyed with this little kid energy that rubbed me the wrong way. I dress in all black, despite the fact that I am not driving anyone anywhere, and I meet another staff member by the SUVs. I hop into one, and we head out, making our way to Nic’s to drop off a vehicle in time.

I smile, reading Nic’s joy over and over. Wayland pops up on the couch next to me and purrs loudly while I scratch him. I haven’t dropped him off at Nic’s yet, but I feel a pang of loss all the same while I sit with Wayland.
I’m glad the two of them have connected so well and that Wayland seems to be choosing Nic, but it still makes me sad.
Oh, I’m sure your dad would love him! scoop up Wayland and cuddle him close.
