Change Of Pace (Part 2 of 3) (NOTE: This story is told from Charlene's POV) I didn't know what to expect tonight, my brother was back at home having sex with a female tanuki that we hardly knew while I was with her husband. Although I agreed to go along with the 'date' for the sake of helping my brother do what he was asked to do, I still felt a bit uneasy about being with a male I hardly knew as I sat in the passenger-side of his hover car. Admittedly, I did think that he was cute, though that was to be expected from a Braixen pokémorph, but I only knew a little about his personality. He seemed friendly enough when he and his wife visited us at the mansion when we first met, but then again, so was Salem when he first met Rose, and I knew damn well how that turned out for my sister-in-law. As we entered the "Old Twin Lakes" part of Familia and he drove down Diagonal Road towards Business Route 162, he started to make some conversation with me. "I know that this must be a bit difficult for you to deal with. After all, it seems like you and your brother love each other as much as I love my Hinata", he started to explain. "Quite honestly, I can't help feeling a little jealous myself...letting another male impregnate my wife", he added as I listened curiously. "I don't know how you deal with situations like this", he continued as the car stopped at the light at Diagonal Road and BR 162. "Well, I've gotten used to it over the years. Of course it also helps that I go both ways and that many of my brother's partners are also mine", I answered, doing my best to be polite. "That being said, I think I understand how you feel. You love your wife and you wish that you could be the one to give her the family she wants", I added, just as the light turned green and Alain turned right down BR 162, heading in the direction of the Twin Lakes. He drove south towards Twin Lakes Loop Road, which went around each of the lakes before turning onto County Road 180, which went around the lake that was renamed after my brother. "I appreciate you agreeing to let me spend the evening with you, Charlene. I don't know how well I would've been able to handle being home alone while my wife is being impregnated", he explained. "I promise that I'll treat you well while you're with me", he added as he drove towards a lake home on the north side of Lake Chad, pulling into the driveway and coming to a stop. I started to feel a little more comfortable with Alain. From the tone of his voice and his remarks, it seemed to me as if his comments were sincere. "You and Hinata must've been together for quite a while then", I asked as he got out of his seat after unbuckling the seat belt and opening the door. "It'll be five years next April", he answered in a polite tone as I undid my own seat belt and was ready to get out of the car. "Believe me, there is no other female in the world that I would rather be with than her. She means an awful lot to me, and I'll do whatever I can to make my wife happy", he added. His words helped ease my tension some more, showing that I could trust Alain while I was with him. He didn't give me any impression that he was just interested in the space between my legs. "Anyway, why don't we go inside and make ourselves comfortable", he suggested as I stretched out a little after getting out of the car. I went along with Alain, walking with him towards the front door of his two-story, four-bedroom house, but keeping my hands to myself for the time-being. It seemed like he was doing his best to give me a little bit of personal space, not wanting to rush into things as we arrived at the door and went inside. The interior of the home looked nice, with the living room having a couch and two arm chairs in it with a wall-mounted 65-inch HDTV hanging on the wall above the couple's entertainment system. I could tell that one or both of them were into video games, since they had an "Evolution II" console as a part of their entertainment center. Seeing as my brother and I owned the part of I.E. that made the "Evolution II" and was currently working on the "Evolution III", it was something that I had become very familiar with. "So, who's the gamer in the family?", I asked curiously while in the living room. "We both are. Hinata and I have been into video games ever since we were young", Alain answered. "We also have some other consoles in storage, but we spend most of the time playing on our "Evolution II", Alain added. I was a little tempted to tell him about the "Evolution III", since that console had been in development for several months. However, we were not ready to go public with it just yet and I knew Mike and Michelle would get upset if I told anyone about it, so I kept my mouth shut. "Are you interested in playing a game with me?", he asked curiously. While I thought the gesture was polite, I spent a lot of time working with and playing video games while at work. "Uh, no thanks...I do that enough when I'm at work with my brother", I replied. "I get it...you probably don't want to think about work while you're not in the office, am I right?", he answered back calmly. "Well, that's part of it...but part of it is also because I just feel better playing video games when it’s just me and my brother. It's been like that ever since we got our first console", I replied while standing in the living room with Alain. He seemed to understand and decided not to go any further with that conversation. "Anyway, why don't you go ahead and have a seat on the couch. Make yourself comfortable while I go get something for us to drink while we talk a little more", he suggested. "Do you want wine, or would you prefer something non-alcoholic?", he soon asked while stretching a little. I wasn't much of a drinker, so I decided against the wine. "What else do you have?", I asked curiously. "Well, we've got some sparkling water, orange juice, perhaps some banyaberry fizz left over from the last time Hinata and I had company over...", he started to reply as I thought about it. I knew what banyaberry fizz was, my brother and I got it all the time, but I wasn't really in the mood for that right now either. "I think the orange juice will be fine, thank you", I answered back. Alain acknowledged this and then went into the kitchen to get some drinks. While he was doing this, I leaned back on the couch and relaxed a little, thinking a little more about what I had gotten myself into. I didn't really see anything wrong with Alain as far as personality was concerned. He seemed polite and not too demanding, allowing me to see what Hinata felt about him. He was a good and caring male and one that I might've been willing to date if we had met back before we each had mates of our own. A couple minutes later, Alain returned while carrying two glasses...one with sparkling water for him and the other with the orange juice I asked for. He brought them over to the coffee table next to the couch and then sat down near me, still keeping to himself as I took a sip of the orange juice. It tasted like regular orange juice, nothing out of the ordinary as far as I could tell. "I hope that I'm not being too forward with you. I mean, I know that you came over to keep me company while your brother impregnates my wife, but I don't want you to think that I'm only interested in sex", Alain commented while sitting next to me, sipping his glass of sparkling water. "Relax...you're doing just fine", I calmly told him. "I can see why your wife loves you as much as she does", I added, making Alain blush slightly. He seemed to get a little curious after this and asked a question that I'm surprised he didn't ask when he and Hinata first visited us. "Do you have a husband...aside from your brother, that is?", he asked curiously. I sipped my orange juice a little and then nodded. "Yes...I'm married to a manectric/mewtwo-taur hybrid who happens to be the brother of one of my other mates", I explained to him. "I won't go into too many details, since it's all a little complicated, but I feel happy and fulfilled with my partners", I added. Alain curiously listened and seemed a bit puzzled. "But, if you are mated to two others, why didn't I see anyone else when Hinata and I visited?", he asked. I couldn't help blushing some before starting to go into more specifics. "Because of the same reason why I'm married to my brother. Sapphire and hir family are close-knit as well, they wanted to live together when they came to Familia with us, so they live in their own mansion in another part of town. However, just because we don't live together doesn't mean that I don't love Sapphire or my Manny", I explained. "I see them quite often...especially in the case of Sapphire since shi is also married to my brother", I added as Alain seemed to be even more confused. "Perhaps I've already mentioned too much as it is. You'd probably understand better if you were to meet them, but we won't get into that right now", I told Alain calmly. We moved onto another topic soon after as Alain seemed curious about something else. "So, I've noticed that you and your brother have more than one tail. Does that mean that you two are kitsune?", he soon asked. I took a sip of orange juice, then answered his question. "Well, we're a specific kind of kitsune...yes", I explained to him. "We're what are known as 'modern-day' kitsune. You see, we were born with two tails unlike the more traditional Japanese kitsune, but we're supposed to grow more tails as we grow older and gain more experience", I continued. Alain seemed a bit puzzled, not having heard any of this before. "What do you mean?", he soon asked curiously. I decided to try my best to explain about my parents and how my brother and I ended up like we were. "Well, my mom is a kit fox/eevee hybrid with three tails. She's also a modern-day kitsune that specializes in transformation. My father looked more like how me and my brother looked and also had shapeshifting abilities. He could inherit new forms through many different ways, including through sex", I explained. "In fact, that is how my brother and I got our ninetales forms. Dad acquired a ninetales form through mating with a female ninetales long ago and it got passed along to us", I added. Alain seemed a little curious when I mentioned this to him. "I see...does this mean that you're able to take on other forms whenever you mate with someone?", he asked calmly. "Only if I decide that I want the form for myself. Most of the forms I've acquired through mating were with my own brother. However, if I chose to do so, I could take other forms from mating with someone else", I explained to him. "What about a braixen? Would you be interested in gaining a braixen form?", he asked as I started to see where this was going. "Hmm...I never really thought about it before. I mean, I already have a fire fox pokémorph form in my ninetales form", I answered back. Alain started to blush a little when I brought this up. "I apologize if it sounds like I'm going a bit too far. I mean, I figured that maybe I could give you a little something that you could use to surprise your brother later on. You know, as a way of me thanking you for taking time to be here tonight", Alain mentioned calmly. I wasn't opposed to his idea. In fact, it made me curious to see what I might look like as a braixen. Additionally, I thought my brother might enjoy the surprise. "Well...we could give it a try, I suppose. I don't know how much I would use a braixen form when I already have a ninetales form, but I have to admit that I am curious", I explained to him. "I think that you'd make a cute braixen...I mean, not that I don't think that you're cute enough already, it's just that I'm trying to think about what your brother might say when he...", Alain began to reply as I looked at him and smiled. "You don't have to say anything else. I know what you meant", I answered right before finishing with the rest of the orange juice. Once I was done with that, I stood up from the couch and stretched a little, deliberately letting both of my tails brush along Alain. "Anyway, I think we've had enough time to chat. What do you say that we get to the real reason why I'm here tonight", I suggested in a calm tone. Alain stood up from the couch soon after as I started to notice a bit of a bulge forming inside his pants. "Sure, if that's what you like. Just give me a moment to move this coffee table out of the way so you and I can have more room", Alain replied as he seemed to think about something. "Oh...where are my manners...I assume that since you have mates of your own, you probably don't want me to turn a tie with you when we have sex", Alain added. I was already beginning to undress, removing my dress and leaving it on his couch while still having my purple bra and panties on. "Well, normally I wouldn't want you to tie me. However, since I want that braixen form and since you're unable to impregnate me, I'll let you do it just this once", I answered in a calm tone. "However, don't get used to me deciding to do this. This is a one-time only sort of thing", I added, just in case there ever was an instance where Alain and I had sex again. He seemed to get the message and proceeded to move the coffee table, creating a large enough space in between the couch and the wall where the TV and stuff were to be able to comfortably turn a copulatory tie during our mating. I couldn't help feeling a little curious about how Alain would be when we had sex. Sure, I knew as a fire-type that his member would feel quite warm, but I was curious to know how his length compared to my brother's when he was in ninetales form. The thought of having a hot and throbbing foxhood in my vixen hole made it quiver with anticipation as I felt my walls contracting and expanding, my passage already starting to dampen as I began to remove my lingerie. Meanwhile, Alain was also starting to undress as I watched him remove the shirt he was wearing. Alain was taller than my brother when he was in his default form, but Alain appeared to be a bit more slender than he was. Of course, the real comparison would come once he got the pants off and I could actually see what he gave his wife on a regular basis. As he was getting undressed, I removed my bra and let it drop down with the rest of my clothes, finally working my way down towards the panties to pull them down and then off. Then, as soon as I was naked, I decided to have a seat on the floor and open my legs up a bit, intentionally displaying my vaginal folds to Alain. At that moment, he was still in the middle of getting his own clothes off. He managed to lower his pants down and take them off one leg at a time. By now, I could see his boxers and his foxhood as it poked out through the hole in the front. Although I couldn't see all of it, I got enough of a glimpse to estimate its size. It seemed comparable to my brother's...at least when my brother was in his normal form, although I knew my brother's shaft could grow much larger depending on the form he was in. The sight of his length made my insides quiver more as they seemed to grow warmer and wetter as well. It seemed like Alain would feel good inside me and I felt like I was just about ready to take him. At last, Alain finished removing his clothing, revealing his fully erect braixen cock to me. It was indeed comparable to my brother's shaft in terms of length, though Alain's bulb did seem a bit larger than my brother's. Of course, I didn't intend on telling him or my brother this, though. After all, neither of them needed to know, and in addition to that I knew how much bigger my brother could get in some of his other forms. "So, what do you think?", he soon asked, displaying his naked body to me as I watched his pole twitch upward a little, the tip of it dribbling with his precum. "I think I can see why you and Hinata get along so well", I replied in a playful tone as I showed off mine to him. "What about me? Do you think I look good?", I asked curiously while spreading my outer lips, deliberately showing off the quivering entrance to my vixen hole. "I can see why you and your brother get along", Alain replied in an equally playful tone, causing me to both blush and chuckle. After this, I decided to go ahead and get ready for Alain, turning over so that I was on my hands and knees while letting both of my tails drop off to one side. "Well...what are you waiting for?", I coaxed to Alain while shaking my rear at him a little, wanting him to come over and join me. The eager male got the message and was soon on top of me, his arms wrapped tightly around my lower body while I felt the tip of his pole probing against my vaginal lips. It took him a few attempts before the tip found my entrance and finally pushed inside, Alain seeming to move slowly as he entered me. As I felt him push inside, I felt his member pulse against my vaginal walls a bit, feeling rather warm and thick. As I expected, his shaft was warmer than that of the average canid male, though not quite as hot as my brother got when he was in his ninetales form. He continued to embrace me in his arms and push inward at a slow and steady pace, doing so until I felt that bulb of his press up against my vaginal lips and clitoris. He stopped for a few seconds after this, most likely to let me get a good feel for what he had. I could feel a few spurts of his warm precum already hitting deep inside, glazing my cervix a little as I felt my hole spasm around Alain's foxhood, giving it a bit of a squeeze. My vaginal pores producing fresh juices to keep my canal good and moist, inviting the male braixen to hump me. Soon after, Alain began to move back and forth through my vixen hole, going at a modest pace as I felt his member massage my insides, his knot bumping gently against my outer folds and clit with each inward motion. I murred softly and leaned in towards him a little, letting him go at his desired pace while enjoying the pulsing foxhood along my passage. "Mmm...I can see why your brother likes you", Alain commented while mating with me, still going at a modest pace as his length kept throbbing and spurting precum into me. Even though I knew that my brother wasn't just interested in having sex with me, I figured that I knew what he meant by that, so I decided not to say anything about it. Instead, I merely focused on letting him continue and enjoying the experience. It wasn't long before he started to increase his pace, humping me more vigorously as I started to feel him grind his bulb against my outer folds, moving from side-to-side in traditional canid fashion. The throbbing in his shaft increased and I felt stronger spurts of his precum reach deep inside. It was here when I decided that it was time to let him take the lead and closed my eyes, enjoying the heat and massage of being mated by the male braixen while focusing on becoming one myself. His grip on my hips tightened as he got into it more, with Alain murring and panting a bit while he was mating with my, my vaginal walls constantly contracting around his length as it moved through. I made my vaginal entrance grip him the tightest, just like how I would whenever my brother or Manny was inside of me. I did this to show how willing I was to let them knot me and to show them how tightly I would hold onto their bulb once it got in. It certainly seemed as if Alain got the message as his pace increased even further and I felt his knot starting to push against my vaginal folds with each inward motion, slowly causing my outer lips to spread apart. The throbbing of his shaft against my vixen hole continued, growing stronger and more frequent as his climax neared, showing me exactly what Hinata must've felt every time the two of them had sex. The rubbing along my insides became hot and intense, making my pores gush again while I kept focusing my energy on the transformation. I panted and moaned with pleasure as his knot got closer to slipping into my quivering hole, leaning back towards him some more to help out. The eager male panted heavily while humping me, pushing his bulb against my vaginal lips some more as it seemed like his climax was imminent. This continued for several more moments until I felt the knot pass through my outer lips, then into my entrance, becoming stuck just inside the passage. When this happened, he moaned loudly as his climax hit as I felt his cream gushing forth from his tip, getting all over my insides. My walls instinctively closed in around the knot as it started to grow, holding it firmly in place as I felt his semen collect inside my vagina and uterus. The load he produced was plenty warm, though again not as warm as my brother's when he was doing me in his ninetales form, but it also seemed to lack the familiar tingle from the countless millions of sperm that came in along with it. Even without this, his load felt warm and sticky, clinging to my walls and pooling in my womb as I felt him start to lick the back of my neck during the climax. I took what he had to give me and kept focusing my energy on transforming, feeling my body becoming warmer on the inside, a sensation that I was familiar with from my own ninetales form. The sensation intensified further as I clamped down tightly on Alain's growing bulb and pulsing foxhood, still feeling it pump fresh cream into my womb as if he were trying to do what he was unable to do with Hinata. He certainly had the sex drive to become a father, but without viable sperm to be able to do it, I felt confident that no pups would result from this mating. The initial phase of his climax continued for several moments, lasting until his knot reached its maximum size and the flow of cum inside of me slowed to periodic spurts. When this happened, I felt Alain release the grip he had on me, dismount me and turn the copulatory tie...something I experienced dozens of times before from my twin brother. It was here when I finally opened my eyes and looked back at Alain while he kept leisurely filling my reproductive tract with his load, discovering that my body had changed. My fur was now similar to his in color and my two tails had changed to match that of a braixen. While I couldn't see for sure, I felt confident that if I looked in a mirror that I'd discover that the upper half of my body would also look like that of a female braixen. Although, there was one thing that I noticed while looking back at him. "Hey...where's the stick that's supposed to be in the tail? For that matter, where's yours?", I asked curiously while we were joined together. Alain kept slowly filling my womb with his warm semen, causing the pool to grow inside me with each successive spurt as he answered my question. "I don't keep it with me all the time, I have it in the bedroom inside a locked case. Besides, I don't really need it to be able to use most moves anyway", he started to explain as he yipped with excitement as my hole instinctively tugged on his swollen bulb. "Ahh...as for you, since this is just a temporary transformation...at least I assume it would be...you could probably just pick up any old stick and use it to the same effect as the one I have...if you wanted to, of course", he added. I wasn't sure how much I would use this form going forward, especially since I also had a ninetales form to go along with it. However, it would be something that I would keep in mind just in case I felt like doing it. In the meantime, I just did my best to relax and take in what Alain produced while the two of us were locked together, already thinking ahead to what I would do once I got home and had a chance to show this to my brother. We were joined in the traditional vulpine union for a good half-hour or so until Alain finished pumping his cum into me and his knot deflated, allowing it and the rest of his shaft to pull free from my vixen hole. I felt a small gush of his cream leave my entrance when he pulled free, but much of what he filled me with remained deep inside. The warmth of his load felt good in me, but I sorely missed the tingle that normally came along with being inseminated. I stayed on my hands and knees for a few moments after Alain pulled out, letting some of his cum drip from my opening as he got back to his feet and stretched. However, he didn't forget about me after he had finished. "Do you want me to bring you anything, or help you back up to your feet?", Alain calmly asked. I was still in the middle of basking in the afterglow of sex and wasn't quite ready to do anything else, though there was one thing I did have in mind. "I'll be alright, just want a few moments to relax a little before I get up", I told him in a polite and calm tone. "Although, I think that I could use a shower here before I head back home", I added a few moments later. "Of course...the bathroom is located on the second floor, across the hallway from the two spare rooms", Alain replied. "We usually don't have many people stay over here, so if you need it I can bring you some of Hinata's body wash. Just make sure that you don't use it all up, otherwise she might get upset", he added a couple moments later. After he told me this, I felt ready to get back onto my two feet and got up from the floor. I brought a small bag with me when I left the mansion, but it was still inside Alain's car. "That shouldn't be necessary, I have my own body wash in the bag I brought with me. Problem is that it's still in your car", I replied calmly. By now, Alain was already getting dressed again, having put his boxers back on. "Ah...say no more...just give me a minute to get my shirt and pants back on and I'll go get it for you", he replied. Seeing that he was already getting dressed and that I didn't really feel like putting my clothes back on until after I showered, I decided to let him do it for me and simply waited. He finished putting his pants and his shirt on before running outside to his hover car, going to grab my bag. While he was outside, I took the time to change back into my normal form, not wanting to spoil the surprise right away for my brother once I did get home, plus I was unsure of how the water from the shower would affect me if I got into the shower while still a braixen. When Alain came back a few moments later, I took the bag he brought in for me, thanked him for the help, then gathered my clothes. From there, I went up to the second floor of his house, finding the bathroom and getting into the shower to wash up. I made sure I did my best to clean my lower regions as thoroughly as possible, washing out as much of what Alain put in me as I could. While what was in my uterus would remain in there for some time, the semen in my vaginal canal washed out with time. I figured my brother would want me clean down there when we got back together. I spent a half-hour or so in the bathroom, between showering and getting dressed once again, looking like I did when I first arrived at Alain's home. In all, it had been roughly 2 hours from the time I first left the mansion to now, and I was starting to think that my brother had probably done what he was asked to do by Hinata. As such, I was feeling ready to head on home. When I came back downstairs after the shower, Alain was completely dressed, looking just like he was when he and Hinata first showed up at the mansion. "Oh good...you're all dressed", Alain commented when I returned to the living room, seeing that he had also moved the coffee table back to where it was. "Would you like me to take you back to the mansion now...or is there something else you want to do?", he asked curiously. I gave it a little thought and looked at the grandfather clock in the living room. It was getting late, and I felt certain that my brother wouldn't have wanted to waste any time with breeding Hinata, nor would she want to wait to become pregnant. "I think we can probably head back now", I replied calmly. "Alright then, I'll take you back home", Alain replied in a soft and polite tone, reaching out for me with one of his hands. I decided to take hold of his hand and walk with him from the living room back out to his hover car, getting back inside the passenger-side and making sure that I was comfortable while Alain got into the driver-side and got into his seat. Soon after this, we departed from his house and made the drive back to the mansion. After several minutes, the hover car arrived in the front driveway and parked there as Alain and I got out. Although I felt like it was probably safe for us to go inside, I wasn't 100% sure, so I had Alain wait for me out in front. I walked into the mansion, going down the main entry way, looking to see if my brother was anywhere around. As I walked, I heard the sound of the TV coming from the family room, along with the sound of a female talking. I figured it must've been Hinata, since I didn't recognize the voice right away. "I had a really good time tonight, cutie. Thanks for giving me what I wanted", she commented from the family room as I moved a little closer. "Don't thank me until we make sure that you're pregnant. After all, it is what you came here for, isn't it?", I heard my brother comment back as I got in close enough to see them sitting together on the couch. Hinata appeared to be fully dressed while my brother was in just his robe. Apparently, he hadn't gotten back into his clothes after finishing with Hinata. "Oh, I'm sure that won't be an issue. Your boys seem rather eager to make me a mommy", Hinata commented back at my brother before I watched her nuzzle him gently. Suddenly, my brother's ears stood straight up as if he seemed to notice something. "Hello, Charlene!", he commented without even looking back to see where I was. He could probably tell it was me from scent, though it was also that he just assumed it was me. Hinata turned around to look back and saw me there. "Oh, it is your sister", she commented. "Hi there! We were just relaxing after your brother finished knocking me up", she added in a sweeter tone. "Did my husband show you a good time while I was busy here?", she then asked curiously. "Yes...as a matter of fact, he did", I answered as she and my brother got up from the couch, the two of them holding hands while doing so. "Although, quite honestly, I feel like I would much rather spend the rest of the evening with my brother. Your husband is nice, but he doesn't mean nearly as much to me as my brother does", Charlene added. Hinata blushed and let out a sigh. "Yeah, I get what you mean. I'd like to get back together with my Alain as well", Hinata explained. "Did he come back with you?", she soon asked. "Yes, he did...in fact, he's waiting on the front porch", I explained to Hinata in a calm tone. "Why don't you head on out there and meet him", I suggested. Hinata nodded before she released my brother's hand and then kissed him on the cheek. "I'll let you know what happens as soon as I find out", Hinata commented softly to him as I watched my brother's cheeks turn pink. She then made her way to the front door and back into Alain's arms. The couple embraced immediately with Alain and Hinata nuzzling each other. They soon kissed with Hinata reaching down to Alain's crotch, rubbing her hand along his pants. "Seems like someone is happy to see me", Alain remarked when feeling Hinata touch him, with a bulge starting to form in his pants. "C'mon now, sweetheart...you can't possibly tell me that you're not eager for us to get back together", Hinata playfully commented as Alain smiled and picked up Hinata in his arms, carrying her as I watched them. He carried her back to the passenger-side of the car, placing her in the seat before he got back into the driver-side, driving off for home soon after. Meanwhile, I felt my brother place a hand on my shoulder as he came up behind me, still wearing nothing but his robe. "So, how was your time with Alain?", he asked curiously. I turned to my twin brother, placed my hands around his upper body and touched my nose to his. "Alain was nice...but he made me think a lot about you", I mentioned in a soft tone. "In fact, being inseminated by him doesn't feel the same when I feel your seed in me and your knot throbbing against my hole", I added before kissing my brother, getting him to murr excitedly. It wasn't long before I noticed a bulge of his own form inside the robe he wore. We kissed for several moments before stopping, with my brother reaching around to playfully grab at my tush. "Well then, maybe we should do a little something about that, shouldn't we?", he remarked playfully before the two of us went back inside, with me closing the front door behind us. To be continued...
