I went out to play with Coco; The lawn was green and the flowers were blooming. Things look so much brighter and happier when you’re in love, I thought, and smiled to myself.

I rolled on the grass like a crazed horse that’s scrubbing.

Coco looked at me. She looked so confused I thought she’d ask me if I were O.K. next. I guessed I looked pretty crazy.

I didn’t care, though. The sun played on my hair, Coco licked me.

I felt something touch my hair and I looked up. I wasn’t surprised.

“Ryuuki!” I jumped at him, more like a dog than him. And he’s the lycanthrope. We rolled around from the impact of my jump. I hugged him hard.

“Not going on the offensive this time, I see?” he laughed and hugged me back.

I looked up at him.
“I’m going to take a risk,” I told him.
“Oh?”

I lunged forward and kissed him. His eyes widened. I pulled back, blushing.

“That’s for last night,” I said, smiling.
“I knew I loved you!” he hugged me tight.

This was the happiest memory in my life.
