"So, sourdough bread, huh?"
"Oh, yes!"
"Man, you really like it, don't you?"
"Are you kidding me? I...love it!"
Christina stared amusedly up at her avian friend, watching him do loop de loops in the night sky. He landed sloppily in front of her with a grin. She laughed. "Wow, I've never seen anyone be that nuts about bread. No offense, Pete."
"None taken, Chris! I just love the stuff!" the pigeon said ebulliently, taking a few steps.
The girl moved beside him. They agreed the park would be their hangout. No one was around, which assuaged any fears Pete had about being noticed. The duo were free to do as they pleased.
"What's your favorite kind of bread?" Pete asked.
"I like whole wheat," Her mouth watered slightly. "It's good to make sandwiches with."
"Wait, hold the phone, you never tried sourdough bread?" Pete inquired with a surprised expression.
"Uh, no."
"You are so missing out! I really do recommend it!" The pigeon chirped, a pep in his step.
"Alright, alright," His friend laughed. "I'll try some. For you."
"Yay!" Pete shouted joyously, nearly tackling Christina in a feathery hug and squawking. "You're gonna try sourdough bread! You're gonna try sourdough bread!"
"Yeah...I am...air! Pete, air!" The girl choked out.
He gasped, releasing her. "Oh, sorry."
Christina took a moment to catch her breath, before replying, "That's okay."
"Really, I'm happy. I really think you'll like it," Pete smiled kindly.
"I hope so," She said, slight skepticism in her tone.
Christina entered through the back door of her home and headed upstairs to the kitchen. Her mother, a brunette woman dressed in a white shirt and jeans turned from the sink with a smile. "So, how was your time with your friend?"
"It was good," The teen said simply.
The woman blinked. "Anything else?"
"When we go shopping, could I get some sourdough bread?"
