Uninvited owner (1)

Erik ambled towards the plush sofa, sinking into its welcoming embrace. The soft cushions conformed to his form, providing a comfort he hadn't experienced in a while.

Across from him, June mirrored his actions, his human form now apparent, albeit unclothed. A moment of silence passed between them before Erik broke it with a jest.

"If someone walks in right now, they might think we're having 'a moment."

June's response was quick and equally humorous. "Well, at least it would be a memorable first impression."

Both of them burst into a hearty laugh. These past weeks had been tense, and having a moment of respite was a welcome relief.

However, the humor in the room and the comfy sofa were insufficient to fully erase the weariness both had.
