Jeff was imagining just how much his wife was going to like his new husky features. His tail was simply expressing how much he enjoyed that fantasy automatically.
The gray fur continued crawling up his torso. His gut slowly shrank as the fur spread over it. The changes around his chest were a little difficult to see with his fully transformed muzzle blocking the lower area of his vision. Jeff felt the fur grow just underneath his muzzle before it started growing down his arms instead of finishing his face. His hands changed in a way similar to his feet: still human shaped, but with pads on his palms and covered with gray fur on the back.
Jeff suddenly realized that he's not going to be able to turn the doorknob to get out of the bathroom if he lets the transformation finish! He tried to jump up to get to the door, but he didn't notice that his feet had more of a paw shape to them than when he had examined them. He stumbled, and thanks to the delay, his hands finished changing into paws before he could open the door. Jeff's only way out of the bathroom now is with Kaitlin's help.
As if on cue, Kaitlin called out to him. "Jeff, are you in there? Where did you put the amulet? I'm ready to try it on now." Oh yes, that's right. Earlier, she had asked if she should try the amulet on. Then, for some reason, she wanted to go change into color-matching clothes before wearing it.
Before Jeff could react, Kaitlin was already opening the bathroom door. He forgot to lock it!
