---

"Here is your coffee, Ms. Venable!" You greeted, gently placing the filled paper cup. Venable glanced up, her tail immediately wagging. "Thank you!" She took the cup, immediately taking a sip. It was just how she enjoyed her coffee, rich. Her tail wagged harder as you flashed her a smile, smiling in return as you walked away to your desk.

It was no secret that Venable got bit a while back, in fact being able to show off her tail let people know what she was feeling and how to resolve the issue immediately. However, lately... Venable looked behind her, huffing in annoyance. Her tail had been wagging all day long, fur beginning to run up her spine as her overjoyed emotions continued to spiral upwards.

Jeff nudged Mutt, pointing to the tailed woman walking down the hall. The sound of Venable's tail thwapping against her skirt alerted the two. Jeff immediately began to follow her, skipping until he was in front of her. It was a familiar song, one you often hummed when passing their office. "Oh! My tail's swinging! Maybe I'm in love!" Jeff sang happily, skipping and mocking a tail wag. What he didn't expect was to not hear Venable walking. He looked back, seeing the woman clench her cane as fur ruptured from the collar of her suit top, her face red with blush as she stood completely still.

Jeff stared at Venable, the two making eye contact. His eyes widened, suddenly chasing the stoic woman. "Wh-wha-woah! You can't be serious! You? Venable!? The most important and stone-cold woman fell in love?" Jeff excitedly spoke, Venable practically running with her cane to get away from him. Her face was plastered with annoyance, which did not deter him. "Wow! You really have changed!" Jeff giggled, poking her cheek. "I need to get back to work." Venable waved him away, wolvish ears poking from her head. They laid flat to express her annoyance, Jeff still chasing her. "It could only be one person! (Y/N)! It has to be her!" Jeff spoke with great haste, pestering the changing woman. "Enough." Venable growled, getting to her office. "You're finally being a softy, I love it!" Jeff cooed, Mutt joining along at the end of the hallway.

A flash of red fur and Venable turned around, snarling in her wolvish form at the two. "I said enough!" She snapped, her tail still wagging. "I was right!" Jeff pointed over, Mutt laughing. Venable slammed the door to her office, not expecting to see you standing in the room. As she saw you, her tail began to wag again. Annoyance prickled at Venable, angrily running her claws through the fur on her head as she mumbled in aggravation.

"You know, even as a wolf, you're pretty." You commented, catching Venable's attention. She shied away slightly as you reached out to her, patting her head. After you left with a peck to her nose, she stared as you left. Her tail started to wag with a fury, knocking things off her desk. "You're pretty too..." Venable whispered, almost lost for words.

After an hour, Venable was finishing her paperwork, looking up as Jeff and Mutt stood in the doorway with big bright smiles. "What?" Venable mumbled, bristling with annoyance.

"You've been invited out for dinner by the one and only (Y/N)."
