But he really did LOVE her. Looking after the ravens that live in the tree outside Frankie's window makes Harry feel connected to her - makes him feel less as if he's being sucked into a black hole. And when the big storm comes, Harry's holding on to survival and hope for the sake of an orphaned baby raven ...
