The sunglasses he had complimented were tucked away in her bag, and the knee he had playfully squeezed was pressed against her other one as they sat too close together in the booth. She remembered the way she had jumped and pushed his hand away from her. Her blush was barely hidden by the dim lighting of the pub.
Her tail had returned to it’s normal size, and her ears were pushed to attention on top of her head and he was refusing to let her move. He was comfortable, which was apparently all that mattered. This was fine. This was tolerable, she wasn’t truly uncomfortable, just annoyed at the easy way he continued to interact with her when she was trying to push him away.
Julianna stared blankly at the menu as he enthusiastically pointed out burger toppings. She was trying to figure out what he had almost called her before quickly switching to her name. Ears had shifted on top of her head, catching that hard consonant before he’d cut himself off.
He leaned into her and when she turned her face to him, his was entirely too close. She could have effortlessly leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek, but she didn’t know for the life of her why she would want to do that. “I just like cheese,” she replied, studying the profile of his features. The line of his jaw was a tempting thing. “With tomato and lettuce, but no onions. Sometimes, I can be tempted with a sauce. Like a spicy ranch or a barbecue sauce.”
Julianna was pretty sure this was the most pleasant thing she had ever said to him.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
