@riverswifts ( kalani x garcelle )
The night air was cool against Kalani’s skin as she wandered through the quieter streets of Sol City, Echo trotting faithfully beside her. The city had its own rhythm at night, a softer hum compared to the chaos of the day. She hadn’t planned on stopping anywhere in particular, just walking, clearing her mind—but Echo had other ideas.
The moment they neared Garcelle and Enzo’s home, the massive hound’s ears perked, and with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he changed course. Kalani huffed, shaking her head but letting him lead. She knew Enzo wouldn’t be home yet—he was still at work—but her mother was.
Sliding the spare key from her pocket, Kalani unlocked the door and barely had time to step inside before Echo bolted past her. He greeted Garcelle with unrestrained excitement, paws tapping against the floor as he covered her in affectionate licks. Kalani sighed, shutting the door behind her. “I was going to announce our entrance, but I guess he did it for me.”
