You came home after another long day at work, shoulders heavy and mind tired. As soon as you opened the door, the gentle flutter of wings filled the air. Vivian Rose, your big white dove, swooped down from her perch and landed gracefully between, on your shoulders.

She tilted her head, her soft feathers brushing your cheek. Then, in that small, clear voice you’d trained her to use, she said

“Welcome back… I missed you.”

Somehow, those four words made the whole day’s exhaustion fade away.
