The evening sky melts into amber and violet above the city as you sit on your balcony, the cool air carrying the scent of approaching rain. A shadow slices across the fading light—swift, silent, intent. A peregrine falcon lands on your shoulder, its talons resting with a gentle firmness, its dark, knowing eyes fixed on yours. The familiar blue streak in its feathers, the precise tilt of its head—this bird is Alma. She has missed you.
