My stars!He exclaims in startled surprise as he nearly trips over a man lounging in the grass. His heart stutters helplessly in his chest as he stumbled backward, head raised and ears pinned against his sleek skull. The man sits like a cat sunbathing in the brightest patch of the morn.
He runs his tongue across his lips nervously, before they twitch into a bashful smile.
