Perry smiled to herself as she sat at her desk. Her and Charlie had started going out publicly about two weeks ago. She had answered back both Ariel's and her parents' letters, feeling better than she had in a very long time. Finally, she was free to love and be loved. She shook her head as she tried to get back to work, but her thoughts kept returning to her and Charlie. They were so good, so happy together. She looked up as she heard the fluttering of wings and a brown tawny owl came in through the door. It was Aenid, Maricia's owl. She took the letter from her beak and reached into a drawer for some owl treats. She took the treats then flew out, almost hitting a wizard in the head. Quickly Perry read the letter and smiled, "Oh good. Mari's coming to visit me next month."
