Hello,
I have loved this story and the last story - Love in the Shadows including the grocery store story. I recently signed onto this account for the first time since 2018 to comment on You and WolfM's new stories. I used to work in the Deli counter of a grocery store and a discount store chain (Ames Department Store) that no longer exists. I say all that to say I have experience in the the retail world.
Something struck me when I read this section:
When Vincent is fighting in this form would the tail be a dead giveaway of how he was feeling and giving his opponent insight when Vincent is planning his next attack? I noticed this tail bothered him.
