"I want to soar with you like a bird & make love as if we were swifts in the air. Our sky is too bright to be taken down yet. Please come back to me." She deleted the text & walked

Coo, from a lofty perch, clucked derisively at the goings-on. Pitch perched on the same branch and mimicked the owl with impressionable excitement. Birds weren't the only thing
