Cherise came down the escalator to where he stood, hugged him cheerfully and handed him the carrier with the two parrots inside. He said hello to Sophee and Keegan and followed Cherise to the baggage carousel.

“You sure are in a good mood.”

“I just got on a plane without planning to, and came to visit my brother. I feel great.”

“Did you take something other than Xanax?”

“Nope. Just the Xanax. But only half as much as usual.”

“What’s got into you?”

She watched the carousel for her suitcase. “I think I finally realized that I’ve missed out on spending time with you, and I’ve let myself become so hermitized…I’m ready to change that.”

Jerrin continued to wear a half-frown, half-grin, unsure of what magic had a hold on his sister.

“There it is,” she pointed at her bag. Jerrin handed her the carrier and lifted it off and they started for the parking lot.

“How’s little Mr. Noah?”

“He’s happy as a clam. I bought him a bass and amp and he’s at home, thumping away.”

“That’s so cute.” She peeked inside the carrier to the parrots. “We’re almost there, you guys…you’ll have your freedom soon.” Sophee made her odd little noise that sounded like “Heh.”

Cherise leaned down toward the carrier. “Maybe Keegan could sing for a while…”

Keegan sang, “Whoo let the dooogs out? Woo, woo woo woo-woo…”

“That’s right, Keeg!” she said.

He praised himself. “Good boy!”

Jerrin laughed. “You’re a funny bird, Keegan.”

From inside the carrier, Keegan added, “Want some cheese?”
