This is was spawned from watching SS (or, in your case, PS) late at night. 
~*~
The sun was setting outside, painting the slow, lazy river gold. Limestone steps led up from the muddy bank, giving way to stepping stones that traversed the thick and slightly overgrown backyard.
Ivy climbed up the lattice on either side of a pale blue door. A few feet away, the stepping stones became steps once more, giving prelude to the back entrance of the old Victorian.
Light shown off the hallway, streaming out onto the slightly worn carpet from a large room. Inside, Kimberly sat at an overlarge writing desk, finishing up the last sentence on a long letter that stretched out before her.
She cast a glance over her shoulder, gauging the light still coming in from the outside, before hurriedly folding the bulky letter and stuffing it into an envelope. Without second thought, she sealed it, and set it back on the desk. Picking up a regular ink pen, she scrawled a name across the outside of the envelope.
“Risa”
She smiled slightly, before crossing to the window facing the backyard. Flinging it open, she set her eyes on the horizon, waiting.
Not long thereafter, a familiar-looking speck came into her field of vision, and she grinned bigger than ever. She waited impatiently, tapping the window frame and bouncing on her heels, but never once did she break eye-contact with the speck that was slowly becoming an owl.
