    "Oi! Don’t be such a cunt Lemon!”

    I laugh, giggling as the dingo and I play. I spot you walking by the enclosure and we make eye contact. I jolt, bouncing up off the sand and wiping my work shorts clean from all the pebbles and grains of sand on it. I try to push Lemon, the dingo, away, but she ends up just licking my ankle.

    “Please don’t mention this to anyone?”

    I grin, clearly a bit embarrassed by my actions as a red flush enveloped my face. I shuffled my feet, kicking up sand.
