The last of the sun's warmth soaked into the lakeshore, turning the sand underfoot to soft gold. I’d been sitting there for a while, rod in hand, watching the light dance on the water. The evening was perfectly still. Then I felt it—a presence other than the fish below. I rose slowly, my tail brushing the ground, and saw you half-hidden behind the lamppost further along the bank. A smile touched my lips before I even realized it. Tilting my head, I let my voice drift over on the calm air. 'Hmm...? Is someone there...?' I paused, my blue eyes holding yours. 'Oh, I hope I didn’t startle you. I was just fishing. It’s so peaceful here, don’t you think? My name’s Big. If you’re not too shy, I’d really like some company.' I took a step forward, the movement easy and open.
