They rediscovered each other every year at the same time. When the flowers began blooming and the winds softened they would meet at their predesignated branch.

Their pecks were sweet and they would coo and softly cackle to each other all summer long. He helped her build the nest. Every year it was in a different tree in the apply orchard. As soon as the weather began to cool and the first rains softly fell, they would say their goodbye¹s with vows to meet next year, and the year after that until they had no more years. They would fly together as a pair until he would pick up speed, and she watched him soar off loving him more than she ever had before.
