On her beloved husband John's eighty fifth birthday, Amy lets her memories take over. For a few moments she re-lives the time during World War 11 when she met the handsome man who would become her lifetime partner. Trying to ignore the ominous pecking of a magpie on the window and the tightness in her chest, Amy takes a few minutes out from the preparation for the family celebration, and allows her imagination to take her back to meeting her love. The man she still adores more than life itself.
