Forget the birds and the bees. Forget flowers blooming and the last snow melting into nothingness. Cedric knows it's spring when he doesn't have to wear galoshes outside. When he can dart through the sky like a bolt of lightning. When he can ride the wind with his lovely eagle and revel in the breeze that carries her laughter, chiming like bells.
He swoops down, plucks a daisy from the earth, and offers it to her. Her eyes brighten, sparkling under the sun.
"Shall we?" Her smile answers his question, and they continue flying, enjoying the first day of spring.
