that.
    Kristin quivered all over, her legs turning to jello. He smelled me. From that distance. And all the car’s windows and doors were shut. One thought hit her after another: he knew I was hiding from him, so he probably thinks I’m a freak. And he’s my neighbor. Oh god, he’s so unbelievably hot. But none of that matters, because I’m not going to meet him, and get all into him, and let myself get rejected.
    She stormed into the kitchen and began to prepare her breakfast – scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and spinach on rye toast. She whisked the eggs up angrily. Why does he think he has the right to message me, after I’ve told him to leave me alone, just because we happen to be neighbors? It was too much having him living right on the same street as her. Damn Shiftr and its stupid ‘proximity locator’! And damn that arrogant prick!
    Her anger mounting, Kristin wiped her hands on a towel, picked up her phone, and, before she could think twice, she tapped on the tiger’s profile, and swiped right. He was gone.
    “That’s that,” she announced to her empty apartment, and returned to cooking.
    Before her eggs were done, she was having second thoughts. But it was too late.

    Lauren called as Kristin was on her way to her basketball game.
    “Great to see you last night, Lauren!” Kristin said, speaking into her hands-free microphone as she drove. “I’m trying to make the most of having you to myself before the little critter comes.” Lauren laughed.
    “You too, hun! And there’s a few months yet. Hard to believe though, since I feel so big already! So, what’s going on in the Shiftr world this morning?”
    “You’re calling to find out if I messaged the wolf-guy, right?” Kristin demanded.
    “Yes, I am, I admit. But it’s because we really care about you. And we’ve shown you this app because we know there are so many great guys on there. The last thing we want is for you to root out a bad one and have a disastrous relationship with him.”
    “How do you know he’s a bad one anyway?”
    “Please. He’s the only one wearing a jacket, and did you see that conceited expression on his face?”
    “Maybe you’re right. I don’t know,” Kristin said. “Anyway, speaking of conceited, you’re not going to believe this – the tiger lives right on my street.” Lauren’s gasp almost deafened her.
    “What? That’s amazing news! But how did you figure it out?”
    Kristin related the incident, while Lauren giggled helplessly.
    “So, he’s arrogant enough to think he can come and sniff me out,” she finished.
    “Umm, weren’t you the one who drove right up to his apartment, giving him the opportunity to scent you?”
    “I was just checking whether the app was genuinely registering proximity, or if it was some marketing crap they were doing to make you think that your perfect man is right on your doorstep.”
    “Uh huh. And he is, honey.”
    “Stop! He’s even hotter in the flesh than in his photo, if that’s possible.”
    “Kristin, please stop doing yourself down! You’re absolutely good enough for this guy. And I know for a fact that if he saw you, he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off you. So what did you reply to his message?”
    “I didn’t. I right-swiped him,” Kristin said. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. “You still there?”
    “Yes, hun. I’m just quietly reeling in shock. And wondering if one of my closest friends is a masochist.”
    “No, you’ve got it all wrong. I’m just saving myself pain in the long run.” Kristin was quiet for a moment, as she negotiated her way through a busy intersection. “So, will he be able to figure out where I live now?”
    “Most likely,” Lauren replied. “Shifters have the full faculties of their animal, even when they’re in human form. I don’t know much about tigers specifically, but I’ll be surprised if they don’t have a pretty amazing sense of smell.”
    “So he could catch onto
