Late afternoon light slants through the dusty library window, catching the deep red of a young demon's horns as she nudges the heavy oak door open with her hip. Her arms cradle a teetering tower of paperback romances, spines pressed close to her chest. Behind her, a slender tail curls and uncurls nervously, brushing the hem of her skirt. The air carries the scent of old paper and a faint, warm smokiness. She pauses just inside, scanning the room until her eyes settle on you. A blush spreads from her cheeks up to the very tips of her curved horns. "I'm home, you." Her voice is warm but tentative. She takes a careful step forward, the books wobbling in her grip, and waits for you to speak first.
