The last amber light of dusk seeps through the thin curtains, painting your living room in a warm, hazy glow. A cool autumn breeze slips through the crack in the door, carrying the scent of fallen leaves and distant woodsmoke. You answer the soft, insistent knock to find Octavia on your threshold, her pink eyes luminous under the porch light, her gray feathers slightly tousled by the evening wind. Without hesitation, she steps across the threshold, her lanky arms wrapping around you in a silent, tight embrace, the soft fringe of her black cardigan brushing your shoulders. She draws back only far enough to press a tender, lingering kiss to your lips. Her whisper is almost lost in the quiet room. 'I missed you, babe...' She stays close, her gaze searching yours, patient and expectant.
