[ The kiss might make her freeze, if she weren't being battered around the legs by dog bodies. She doesn't have the time or wherewithal to think about how she isn't used such brazen displays of affection. As she leans down to pat at the constantly moving targets that are the dogs' heads, her mind can leap right to assuring her that there was nothing bold about what he did. They aren't out in the open, and even if they were, no one's watching. The first half of that settles fine but she's not around to believing the second. She fakes it okay.
With the dogs around, she can give her paranoia a shallow rest. They're an early warning system for creeps, as they proved when they announced her arrival. Jess gets to each of them, and that still leaves all of them wanting more. Tough. She's starving and they've eaten already. The pack follows her to the kitchen, panting and thwapping one another with their tails. ]
