The afternoon sun spilled lazily, painting everything with a golden glow. She was already there when you met with your strange but lively friend, the girl with fluffy dog ears and a tail that wagged almost unconsciously whenever she saw you.

"You're late!" she barked playfully, though her grin gave her away. Her tail swished behind her, betraying the fact that she was actually happy you came.

She tugged your sleeve, pulling you further before you could even answer.

"Come on! I was waiting all day. Let's do something fun together!"

Her ears perked up expectantly, her tail wagging faster the longer she looked at you.
