Reflections of Perfection
Yael lifted her face toward the afternoon sun. She reveled in the feel of the warmth as it flowed across her skin and down her body, chasing away the coldness that seemed to have taken up residence in her bones. This had been the coldest winter she could remember in seven years and she refused to consider her breakup with Alistair had any impact on the weather or her perception of it.
Hot tears cooled on her cheeks. Why did she have to cry? He was not worth her tears. He had deceived her. I did it all for you, he had told her. I wanted to make you happy.
Bah,
she spat at the ground. The only person he wished to make happy was himself. Damn little troll.

Until this moment, Yael could not believe it possible that a person could feel this much anger toward another living creature. Her rage had become a living breathing entity all its own. The only thing she could not figure out is who was she madder at, Alistair or herself?
The piercing shriek took her attention to the sky and the falcon that flew above her head. Lifting her arm, she called back to the bird. With languid precision, the falcon altered course. Yael smiled as the bird landed solidly on her forearm.
Cooing to him, she gently stroked the birds head. She knew how unusual it was for a falcon to be so accommodating. It was not in their nature, but Jethro was different. Yael found Jethro when he was still a youngling. She had been foraging for herbs and berries when she heard a whining from beneath the brush.
