Otter Creek closing time

The fact that she was excited to see him filled his breast with such a sense of elation that he felt fit to burst; a swath of red patched the bridge of his nose as he blushed. So pretty he marveled as she grew near enough to make note of the earthy flecks in her honey colored eyes. He had seen her only by the silvren cast of the moon before...but in the daytime her uniqueness was made all the more obvious. She both called his name and narrated her content at having stumbled upon him again; both occurrences were enough to make his plume's tempo pick up to its maximum rhythm.

"You've been keeping your promise!" he noted gleefully. It was true that she appeared a bit worn on the edges...as evident in the matting of an ill kept pelt and smudges of dirt spoiling her complexion. But all in all she was a lively specimen for something left to fend for itself in the wild winter - something he knew he was not entirely equipped to do - and he was warmed by the reassurance that those sleepless nights of his spent worrying for her were nothing but that: simply sleepless nights.
