Dinner on the Terrace

The cook poured some champagne....

"I haven't had a meal like this in weeks.   It's so nice to be back home again."

"...well... except for the fact that everyone is a cat again," he quickly added.

"But...it all feels so oddly familiar..."

Kassia glared at him....

"...ummm....just like it used to be......like when we first met....and everyone was a cat..."

It suddenly felt very awkward....

But his mind kept drifting back to those first three years with his 'Little White Cat', and how they were among the happiest of his life.

Kassia sensed that Adrian wasn't all that disappointed about the situation.  
​"I'm not hungry. I'm going for a walk."

"Wait...I'll come with you..."

He picked her some flowers....

...and tried to appear supportive....

 But he kept thinking how this was just like the 'good old days'....

"I know this has been a huge shock for you....for everyone..... but I'm rather tired from the long ride today.... so I'd rather wait to deal with all this until tomorrow..."
