Dennis and Daisy stood still, staring at Bella without moving, only their hands remaining linked. Suddenly, "clink," the cafe door chime rang again as the door opened. A tall young man, nearly as tall as Dennis, with wolf ears and a wolf tail, a muscular build, and a buzz cut with an earring in his left ear—dressed like a rock singer—approached Bella. He stood beside her and immediately wrapped his arm around her waist.
Then Bella and the young man walked closer to Dennis and Daisy, who stood frozen, glaring sharply at them. Bella whispered to the young man beside her, and he leaned down slightly so she could speak into his ear. The young man nodded along while glancing at Dennis and then shifting his gaze to Daisy. After that, Bella turned back to look at Dennis and Daisy.
"Meet Chris, my boyfriend. We go to the same school," Bella said, introducing Chris, the wolf-eared youth beside her.
