With my wolf vision , I see them as clearly as I would if I was with them in the room . he's laughing at something Penny said . The sound is muffled by the glass , but her smile ... t hits me like a physical blow to the chest . she looks soft . Warm . Innocent in a way that makes my hands ache with the need to touch her .
