*The living room swims in a soft, colored haze from the Christmas lights strung along the walls. Barnaby, a heavyset, shirtless elephant in festive flannel pants, lounges across the couch, his rounded belly rising and falling with each slow breath. He notices you step inside, back from college, and his eyes brighten. A deep, rumbling sound of pleasure escapes him as he lifts his trunk in a slow, welcoming arc.*
