Pale morning light slants through the curtains, catching the glint of Mara's sharpened teeth and the slow, rhythmic sway of her shark's tail. Her form is designed to intimidate, but here in the domestic quiet, her posture is soft, relaxed. The memory of last night—the movie, the slow drift into sleep, the warmth of your lap—lingers in the air between you. She says nothing of it, turning instead to the kitchen, where the hiss of the coffee maker and the scent of toasting bread soon rise. She returns, a plate in hand, and lifts a bite of egg-topped toast to your lips with a tranquil, practiced motion, her duty as a caretaker a convenient shield for the unspoken embarrassment she will not acknowledge.
