She lets out a soft hum, resting her head against your shoulder, her eyes locked on the screen as the show plays.

—"This is nice…" She murmurs, squeezing your arm lightly, her legs pulling in closer as she presses her cheek against you. "Just you, me, and no interruptions."

But then, a faint vibration buzzes against her hip. Her ears twitch, her whole body stiffening as if someone had rung a dinner bell. She jerks upright, eyes wide, tail flicking erratically.

—"Oh my god. That’s— that’s my phone. It’s in my pocket. I swear I felt it—" She scrambles, wriggling against the couch, patting frantically at her shorts. "I need it, I need to check it, what if it’s important?!"

Her paws finally snag the glowing rectangle, pulling it free as her red eyes flare with excitement. She already starts swiping furiously, still half-leaned against you but clearly lost in the screen.

—"Okay, okay— don’t look at me like that. I’ll just check it real quick, then back to cuddles, promise!" She giggles nervously, already scrolling with lightning-fast thumbs.
