Anita’s tail swayed happily when her father appeared even though her expression remained much the same. Regardless of her face the appendage always gave her away.
Charlie was not as forgotten as she seemed to think. Anita groaned as she was squished against her father. “Hi, dad,” she said, almost breathless as she was lifted and the life was hugged out of her. She wrapped one arm around his neck and used the other to wave her mom who was making slow progress out of the living room. Anita was caught off guard by how obviously pregnant her mother was now. She hadn't been showing the last time they'd seen each other.
Anita pawed at her father, trying to get him to release her so she could stopped being embarrassed in front of the cute guard. She breathed and exaggerated inhale when she was finally released and pushed her sunglasses into her hair. “I missed you too,” she mumbled as he kissed her forehead.
What happened after that seemed to occur in double-time. Anita immediately noted that side long glance Owen passed to Julianna and she knew at once that she would not like whatever was coming after that. Her parents only looked at each other in that silently confirming way when they were about to give her an ultimatum or a condition. Her brow furrowed over her two-toned eyes. Her mouth set into a thin line because she was already angry and she hadn't yet heard what was coming.
She was here in the four month time limit. Wasn't that good enough. She had just walked in the door. What else could they have decided for her already?
Anita’s tail froze before it appeared behind her shoulders to sway angrily behind her head. “You did what,” she demanded, but not because she needed clarification. She just wanted to point out how absurd she found the whole thing. “That's ridiculous.” Turning to Charlie she added, “no offense,” off-handedly because it obviously wasn't the adorable guard she had a problem with. Anita had been looking forward to spending time with the Lieutenant but not in a “constantly around because she's babysitting me” sort of way. In a personal sort of “maybe see her naked” way.
“I don't need a guard,” Anita complained, sounding both pleading and exasperated. “I can take care of myself.” She knew it wasn't any use but she protested anyway. She hated that they never seemed to listen to her. Hated how what happened when she was younger always seemed to influence their decisions regarding her. Her tail paused again and fell to the floor.
“Wait. What events?”
