A woman is once again stood-up by her girlfriend.  For the sixth time in six months, this girlfriend either forgets, arrives hours late, or sends a text message hours afterwards to indicate that they won't make dinner.  This time, it's Christmas Eve, and Mandy's made a special meal. She loves cooking. She loves showing her love through food.  But her girlfriend fails to arrive in time.  Then finally arrives hours late.  With a massive wolf.  As a present.  She doesn't apologize for missing dinner. No, she demands to know where it is.  Mandy finally gets up the courage to break up with her girlfriend.

Girlfriend leaves. Mandy looks down at the massive wolf with the intelligent eyes.  Looks around her tiny studio apartment.  Knows she can't keep the wolf.  Goes to sleep.  Wakes up to see a naked woman rummaging through her dresser looking for clothing.  Also, the wolf is missing.

Neat little story of unexpected occurrences, and unexpected love.
