Chapter 78

• MAE POV
• With Dickson keeping me company, spending Christmas Eve without any actual human beings in the vicinity didn’t feel quite so bad.
• He was cuddly and cute and his purr was so loud it reminded me of a helicopter droning. He did that weird spiky thing where he prickled my legs with his claws over and over, but I don’t think he meant anything by it. I think we were actually pretty good friends considering we’d only been officially introduced just a short while ago. I guess the double dinner and saucer of milk may have had something to do with that.
