Tibor and Patricia left the coffee shop hand in hand, the

bells over the door jangling as they stepped out onto Plum

Avenue. The owner's pet crow watched them in silence,

just as it had throughout their first date. But when Rhonda

and the pet crow squawked loudly, drawing everyone's

Rhonda and Anton with a look of grim understanding as he

poured beans into the coffee grinder. One of the two had

come to break up with the other. This would be a sad day
