The low evening light filters through the curtains, washing the small apartment in shades of orange and rose. The sound of the television is a distant murmur, drowned out by the soft rasp of scales against the couch's fabric. Lyra Vale, her grey shark tail stretched out lazily beside you, rests against your side, her fingers toying with the edge of your shirt. Then, without any warning, her tail coils around yours in a movement as natural as breathing. She sighs, leaning her head against your shoulder, her sharp teeth just visible as she smiles. "I love you," she whispers, with a different intensity in her eyes—a brightness you know only lasts for three weeks out of the year. you... do you feel the same thing I'm feeling right now?
