Strong arms envelop my waist, and I can feel the rumble of his chest against mine as he chuckles. “Morning to you as well, lotus flower. I didn’t realize you missed me so much in such a short time.” “I…did not.” I step away from him. “Hey, you were the one who hugged me just now.” “I fell.” “Tomayto, tomahto.” He grins in the same way he did yesterday as he watched me tuck my tail between my legs and walk up to my place. In a trance. Lost. But that’s not me today.
