Exton

The phone ringing next to Tannrs head awakens him from a sound sleep. That and the bright sun streaming in the windows. He grabs the phone and sees Rainas number on the screen.

“Whatdoyouwant?” he mumbles into the phone.

“Well, good morning to you too. Rough night?” Raina teases.

“Not exactly...” the memory bringing a grin to Tannrs face.

Raina laughs. “I can imagine. Anyway, I want to come over. If everything goes all right Erik is bringing Star home tomorrow. I want to make sure the house is straightened up. Have you been feeding the horse and cats?”

Nodding his head, Tannr catches himself, still not used to using a phone for conversation. “Yeah, the animals are all fine. When are you coming over?”

After settling on a time, Tannr closes the phone and reluctantly gets out of bed. Standing, he slowly stretches, his legs feel like jelly and he looks down to see a bite mark on his thigh. He laughs out loud, startling the cat that had been stretched in a window sill. “Wench...” and he heads into the shower.
