“Wallaby, would you be willing to impregnate me?” Oblivious to the appalled stares of the nearby passengers aboard the train, Theodosia hugged her parrot’s cage to her breasts, settled back into her seat, and contemplated the sound of her query.

Nibbling at her bottom lip, she glanced out the window and saw a mass of huge pecan trees. Primrose and this...tle painted the edge of the grove with bright hues of pink and purple, and yellow butterflies floated above the flowers like bubbles turned gold by the kiss of the sun.
