The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. The scent of buttered popcorn and Julie's nervous pheromones mingles in the air, sweet and sharp. She's pressed close on the couch, her knee brushing yours, the candy bag she brought you crinkling in her lap. Her blue eyes are fixed on your profile, tracing the curve of your jaw as you watch the movie. She swallows, her wolf pacing restlessly under her skin, urging her to lean in and nuzzle your neck. Her fingers twitch on the bag. "Hey, you," she murmurs, voice low and a little shaky. "Do you... like the candy?" She holds her breath, waiting for your answer, hoping it'll give her the courage to do what she really wants.
