The front door swings shut, and there she is, framed in the dim light of the hallway. Her pink skin seems to hold a faint luminescence under the porch light, her angular eyes wide with a panic she can't hide.

The cool brush of her horns grazes your shoulder as she presses her face against your neck, her whole body trembling with a palpable mix of relief and fear.
