Bailey had a cat on her lap. So did everyone else. Except for South. The cat assigned to South did not seem to like him and kept jumping off him. That did not make South happy. But there were four more cats here than the number he had played with (which was zero).

"So are these all your cats?" he asked Dani when the movie was over. "Because this is a lot of cats."

"No, of course not. Uh, Oreo and Midnight are our cats," She said, pointing at the two black cats. "The other two are the neighbour's cats. They're out, so we're cat-sitting."

"Oh." He nodded, wondering if everyone in the street had a few cats each.

"Hey, Ansel. Remember what you said when you first came here?" Bailey laughed at whatever Ansel had said, which South didn't know.

"Uh... no? Wait, no. Yeah, I do." Ansel and Dani laughed too, making South feel completely left out.

"What did you say?"

"'I don't like you that much, but you have cats so I'm going to be here all the time.'" Ansel said, flashing a smile in Dani's direction.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, he did."

"Huh, wow."

"That isn't the weirdest thing he's said, honestly."

"Yeah. Don't worry, we have a whole week to tell you all the dirt." Dani winked.
