Well, very reluctantly, we put Nicholas on the train back to North Carolina last night. Cliff said it felt weird to have space in the bed rather than all three of us being piled in there together.

We both got very used to having him here very quickly, and neither of us much wanted to see him leave. I cried off and on yesterday because I didn't want him to go back.

My men got on like a house on fire. I sort of figured they would. They have a lot of interests in common.

I miss my Nicholas. I got very used to having him here and loving on him.

He said that I fed him better this weekend than he's eaten in the last five years. It just makes me want to hold him and take care of him. I was sort of showing off; I deliberately cooked some of my best recipes for him. I teased him and told him that I might keep him captive and debauch his body, but I'd keep him well-fed.

I think this weekend set Cliff's mind at ease too, that I can take care of both of them without taking anything away from either of them.

I told him he's always got a place to stay with us whenever he needs it. I hope he takes me up on that. I want to have him here so I can take care of him and know that he is safe.

Nicholas and CC also hit it off quite well. Nicholas would be puttering around on his laptop and pause for a minute and pet the CC, which CC adores. He loves to be petted. I told Nicholas that if he keeps that up, CC will decide that he is one of his people and will get very protective of him. Whatever CC's flaws may be (running like hell when he's outside without his leash comes to mind), he is very protective of his pack of people.

Nicholas also agrees with me that my Tessa is a beautiful kitty.

I miss him so much. I wish he could have just stayed here with us.
