Dayo stood at the doorway of Dechen’s room, hesitant to knock on the door. His cousin, Enolia, patted his shoulder. “Stop being a wuss and talk to her!”

“What if she doesn't want to talk to me?” Dayo gulped.

“Did you see how she reacted when she saw you? She looked like she was about to jump your bones!” Naade laughed, ruffling Dayo’s hair.

“Why don’t you two just go to lunch? Start small.” Enolia suggested. Naade’s arm slung over his shoulder.

“Start small,” Dayo muttered, knocking on the door, “okay… I can do this.”

Dechen walked out of the bathroom, grabbing her kimono before answering the door. She smiled at the wolf. “Hello Da-Dayo. Is there anything I can do for you today?”

Dayo scanned her up and down with his eyes. She wore a beautiful red silk kimono with doves on it. “I-I-I… um…” He stammered.

Enolia slapped him upside the head, stopping his stuttering. “Will you join me for lunch today? I heard there’s a nice little cafe here.”

Dechen blushed, nodding quickly. “Sure!” She cheered. “Let me just get dressed and I’ll meet you downstairs.”

With that, Dechen closed the door and did a little happy dance before beginning to get dressed. Dayo smiled widely, knowing she was celebrating – as was he.

“Have fun, cousin!” Enolia called out, walking off with her mate.

Barron walked into his office to see Medusa on the phone with someone.

“Oh, Julio, you’re so funny.” She laughed, propping her legs up on the desk. “I’m glad you’ve decided to participate in my study.”

“Of course,” Julio smirked slightly, “I would do anything for a cute scientist like you.”

Medusa blushed, twirling her hair in her fingers. “Oh shut up.” Her snakes hissed at the man on the phone. “Babies! Stop that! Mama’s on the phone!”

“Are those the snakes?” Julio asked, chuckling slightly.

“Yes,” Medusa tapped her snake’s noses, “sometimes they hiss at new people they don’t like.”

“Well, you like me, don't you?” Julio asked.

Medusa nodded. “Of course,” she smiled slightly, “you seem like an amazing person.”

“Why thank you, Medusa.” Julio vice grew sly.

Barron growled slightly causing Julio to smirk. “Is this that the wolf you’re mated to?”

“Yes.” Barron spoke up, his voice growing deep and gruff. He marched over to Medusa and snatched the phone. ”This Julio?”

“Pleasure to meet you, Barron.” Julio chuckled. “I must say your mate is very beautiful, her profile pic on the dating site is very tasteful.”
