Me: Well, that was quite a reunion. Dave’s face was a picture when we told him Tony was back. He rushed outside and jumped into Tony’s arms.
Nell: We were all overjoyed to see Tony, I must say. It’s been far too long.
Me: The love between those two is a joy to behold.
Nell: Behold? Very flowery for a Friday morning.
Me: Yes, I’m feeling a little flowery today.
Nell: Here we go.
Me: I think it’s because I’m having a second birthday weekend.
Nell: You can still do wrong, you know. The ‘not doing wrong’ rule does not apply for extra birthdays.
Me: What about Kev then? He can never do wrong in your eyes.
Nell: Don’t bring Kev into this. Kev is different.
Me: Yes, he’s in a league of his own where you are concerned.
Nell: Jealousy is a most unbecoming trait.
Me: Actually Tony can probably do no wrong in Dave’s eyes.
Nell: True.
Me: Maybe Robin feels the same way about me?
Nell: Now, I’m going to have to tell you something.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: There are actually two Robins.
Me: No, there aren’t.
Nell: Haven’t you noticed that Robin is sometimes a little more portly than usual?
Me: He’s just fluffing out his feathers.
Nell: He’s a different bird.
Me: Really?
Nell: In fact ‘he’ might actually be a ‘she’.
Me: You mean they are a pair?
Nell: Possibly.
Me: Who have I been talking to then?
Nell: Both of them.
Me: So the heart shaped leaf might not have been for me?
Nell: No.
Me: I really thought it was.
Nell: But then again, it might have been.
Me: Yes.
Nell: There’s always hope.
Me: Yes.
Nell: And now you have two special Robins, instead of one.
Me: You’re right. Sorry.
