She kept forgetting that Bronco was living here now, partly because she hadn't actually seen or spoken to him yet. But when someone darkened her doorstep this afternoon, she sniffed at the air and bounced to her feet in practically the same instant upon recognizing the scents.

She immediately felt terrible and paused to soothe him with a few passes of her tongue before nuzzling him toward his litter mates and scurrying to the threshold of the Hobbit Hole.

She licked her lips but did not make a grab for it, her gaze moving back up to Bronco's familiar face. It was good to see him, though she felt vaguely guilty and a little sheepish as she couldn't help but remember the circumstances of their last rendezvous.
