Exton

Well, as Keon and Jack have reminded us, it's getting close to closing time - so with a final wink at the little foxwere, I make my way through the crowd to Raina, finding her deep in conversation with her brothers. I drop my arm around her shoulder and squeeze, and as she turns I give her a slow, clinging kiss. She's smiling when she pulls away. "Tannr, this is Gareth."

I grin broadly. "Charmed." Tannr's eyebrows are rising so high there's no telling where they'll end up if they're not stopped…. "I may be late getting home tonight - or tomorrow. Don't wait up."

"The fox girl?" I nod. She grins. "Hope she's had all her shots." Erik laughs - and his face doesn't crack! If I hadn't seen it, I never would have believed it. Tannr looks more confused than ever, so I whisper to Raina. "Have fun explaining our sleeping arrangements."

"Get out of here before she goes home with someone else. I'll see you tomorrow." She gives me another kiss and a full-body hug and Tannr's eyebrows head for the stratosphere again. "Love you, gorgeous. See you tomorrow." And then I find my little vixen for some dark-corner conversation….
