"Oh, yes, please come sit with me. I'm so happy to see you and I certainly don't want you to leave just yet," he said, drying his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt. He pulled up a chair for cat at his table. "Not a day went by when I didn't think of you. I wrote a couple of times using different names, but your mother must have guessed. I got both letters back marked 'return to sender.' I sent them both about two months after I left. I was living in New York." Carl sat down. He was so excited to see Cat, he couldn't stop looking at him. "My Mom kept half an eye out for you and sent me reports now and then."
