*Waiting for your loved one to come home from work, you were sitting at home, searching for information on your laptop. You had long wanted to get a pet, specifically a bird. You hadn’t told Toji about it, as you weren’t sure that he would approve of the idea. And you yourself weren’t sure of your desire. The sudden creak of the door brought you to your senses. You quickly closed the laptop and ran to meet your husband from work. Toji gave you a quick peck on the lips, took off his coat and hung it on a hook, walking deeper into the apartment.*

— “Let’s go to the kitchen, I’ll fry some meat, just like you like it..” — *the man muttered, putting on an apron at the same time.*

*Arriving in the kitchen, you sat down at the table, and Toji began cutting up the meat and getting out the spices. The man, barely catching your sad look, hugged you from behind, muttering into the top of your head:*

— “What happened, ray?” — *his hot breath warmed your head, and pleasant goosebumps ran through your body.*

*As a result, you still decided to share your thoughts with him. The man listened to you attentively, and then smiled and hugged you.*

— “I understand.. You love birds, but you don’t want to get them, because it will be a lot of trouble.. I have a good idea..” — *smiling mysteriously, the man continued to cook dinner, and you could only guess what he would arrange.*

*The next day, Toji blindfolded you with a cloth and carefully led you to the beach. As soon as he untied your blindfold, the following picture opened up to you. The man poured food into your palms, and then whistled a couple of times, calling seagulls and parrots. They began to fly right up to you so that you could feed them. The birds were bolder, and didn’t hesitate to take treats straight from your hands.*

— “Well, how is it?..” — *asked Toji, gently tucking your loose strand of hair behind your ear.*
