#10 Storm

The trees swayed violently from side to side as water poured from the sky.

Only an owl stood out from the storm. He was perched in a tree, watching a window.
He was waiting.

Suddenly a girl was behind the window. She sat and stared at the rain. The owl hooted at her.

She heard. She opened the window to let the owl in. He landed on the window-sill.

She smiled and patted his head. "I'm glad you're ok," she whispered. "I love you."

The owl nuzzled his head into her hand, feeling warm and content.

She was his. Forever.
