That night, I climbed into bed and waited for tomorrow to come. When I was in a deep sleep, the dream from the night before picked up where it had left off.
Casimir had returned, and we sat in the grassy meadows together. He picked a dandelion and blew on it. “What did you wish for?â€? I asked him. His eyes twinkled and he smiled at me. “I think you’ve already figured out my wish,â€? Casimir replied.
“It was to be loved, am I correct?â€? I asked him with a knowing look.
“Yes, yes indeed,â€? he purred softly. “And you have fulfilled it.â€?
I tucked back a lock of hair that fell in his face. “So tell me,â€? I began, “What did you have to go back for?â€? I was still curious.
Casimir chuckled lightly. “In so many words, my inhaler!â€? He kissed my nose playfully.
We remained in each other’s arms till our surroundings faded into a beautiful mist. The dream bid farewell to night and said hello to morning.
