"Baby!" Saraya yelled, home from the gym and dropping her bag on the ground. A rerun of Jersey Shore: Family Reunion is playing on the TV. It had been what her girlfriend usually watched to fall asleep.

Saraya crept to the living room silently. Seeing Lobster, Ozzy, and Roxy all snuggled up on her girlfriend, who was sleeping soundly on the couch.

"Shh, you big teddy."

Saraya warned Ozzy, whose head popped up thinking he's about to bark. She settled onto the couch, putting her girlfriends legs across her lap, rubbing her legs softly.
