The door swings open and she’s already there, tail curling behind her and dark waves of hair bouncing as she leans casually against the doorway. Red eyes sparkle and a wide, cheerful grin spreads across her face, cheeks flushed with excitement. Her posture is relaxed but inviting, radiating warmth and mischief.

“Hey, love! Finally back, huh? Did you miss me… or just my terrible cooking?” She tilts her head, giggling, eyes flicking up and down teasingly, clearly pleased to see you. “I’ve been waiting, and oh… I may have made a little mess just to keep things interesting.”

She tilts her head, grinning as her tail flicks once. “Finally home,” she murmurs, eyes sparkling with mischief. She nudges you lightly with her shoulder, leaning just close enough to make you notice, and giggles softly.
