I walked on the Main Street of La Belle hoping to run into Whitey. I hadn't made plans with him because I knew we'd probably end up hanging out anyway.

The sun shone over the dusty town and I started to think about how I might actually miss it. . . I'd never missed anywhere really before so it was a new experience.
I spotted Whitey sitting on the porch of the schoolhouse talking to some kids.
I walked up and listened in.
Whitey sat on the stairs and a group of kids around him.
One of the boys asked him to do a trick with his gun.
"A trick with this gun?" He said whipping the gun out and flinging it about in his hand.

"Whoaaah" all the kids said whilst smiling and laughing.

Mrs.Dunne came out and called the kids in. As the kids ran towards the door to the schoolhouse, Whitey spotted me watching him. He approached me and I said "Whoaah!"
He laughed and shook his head.

"You want to go to our spot Princess?" He asked

"Sure, also it's Sophie!" I smiled and we rode out towards the the pond. We got there and I realized I had forgotten how beautiful it was.

He tied up our horses and walked over to the pond and picked a white lily for me

He tied up our horses and walked over to the pond and picked a white lily for me.
"Here you go madam"
I took it smiled and slapped his shoulder playfully.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"I have a name you know"

He kissed my forehead.

"I know" he smiled.

The white lily was beautiful and smelled like the ocean. The sun shone over the water and made it glitter.
We began walking along the pond.

I loved his hair, it was so pretty, it just flowed messily over his face. We were completely silent. I stopped walking and he stopped too. I reached my hand over to his face and gently pushed his golden silky hair out of his face.
He smiled.

"I love your hair" I said admiring it.

"You're so cute" he said and he chuckled.

"Cute? No, no, I'm deadly" I said smiling and pretending to be dangerous.

"No doubt" he said as he rested his hands on his belt. I stopped walking again, and Whitey stopped a few feet in front of me.

"What?" He asked
The water was so beautiful, on the surface of the pond were lily pads, weeping willows hung over the sides and lilies grew everywhere. I turned towards him.

"It's really hot" I said

"Yeah" he answered as if he was scared of what I was gonna say next.

"I'm gonna go for a swim." I said

"But, you'll get you dress dirty, last time it took you a while to clean it." He said as if he was scared for me and didn't want me to go.

I nodded my head. "Fair point." I reached behind my back and unbuttoned the buttons. I loosened the waist of my dress and slipped it off.
Whitey turned his head away.
I was wearing a relatively modest blue slip dress with lace. I walked up to Whitey and turned his face toward me.
