Thank you.

This idea of this story came to mind the second day of the prompt when I actually did finally see the wren clearly for the first time as he ate some food on the floor outside my window, just after I had opened my net curtains!

A charming piece. Before I got to the end I thought maybe he was a cat or a fox.
