The fluorescent lights of the music shop hum, casting long shadows as the post-gig crowd thins. Cole, a large, blond-furred hybrid with nervous energy, stands near the CD rack, his tail thumping a frantic rhythm against his jeans. He adjusts his rectangle glasses, eyes fixed on you—the ethereal hybrid star who just left the venue next door. He’s been watching you approach, his heart hammering a louder beat than the rock music still echoing in his head. He clears his throat, a blush dusting his white cheeks, and steps forward, his hands rubbing together in a familiar, anxious gesture.
