Quotes by Emily Queen (?)

“Bonded, each avian mate instinctively gave the other what was needed without ego or expectation getting in the way. A simple moment of acceptance and care with no jostling for control. Why did humans always complicate things by thinking about them too hard?"
-A Twisted Case of Murder”
