We finally see the Land of Nod!
(Although, yet again, if you're one of my patrons, you've already seen it... I'm not pushing the Patreon thing too hard, am I?)
Anyway. I like Nicole and John. There's a lot to their history and their relationship that I hint at throughout Leftover Soup, but I don't think I'm ever really going to spell out concretely. It's enough for you to know that John had a rough past, Nicole is the precious angel who saved him, and they love each other very very much.

0874-------------------------------------
(Thursday morning, INT, NP and JP's bedroom, NP is ready for work, JP is in the Land of Nod.)
NP: Alright, I'm headed out. You sleep good-good.
JP: Noooo stay in bed with me Nicole I love yoooou.
--------------
NP: I love you too, but I'm not even three months along, I don't think they're gonna let me start my mat leave just yet.
JP: Bah. Fascists, all of them.
NP: To be fair, they do make the trains run on time.
--------------
JP: You don't sell trains.
NP: We do, actually, there's a Thomas the Tank Engine set. We have a display running and everything.
JP: Mnnnh, I suppose you do have to make Thomas run on time. From what I've seen, he does require micromanaging.
--------------
NP: Alright, you get the rest you need, and take a nap in the afternoon if you have to. Get lots of writing done, I'll make dinner when I get home.
JP: You are going to be the best mom ever.
NP: A normal shift at work instead of cuddling in bed all day isn't exactly a high bar for personal responsibility, but thank you.
