3rd Pov:

It had been about 3 months since Mary moved into Moralton. So far she's learned where Stephaine shop was and what things needed to be done at her sister shop everyday. She actually became sort of friends with Stephaine. But another thing she's heard is the various whispers and gossip floating around the town at any given point. Some were weird like a rumor that her sister told her about the local farmer and that he "licked the apple to put stickers on them from the grocery store." Mary didn't really buy that one but still listened to her sisters advice about buying any fruit from the store.

A ton of sad rumors floated around the reverend some were fairly common like

"Did you hear the reverend wears a tope?"

or

"I think the reverend might be stealing from the church. I mean his car looks a little too fancy for a reverend."

other were really sad like

"Did you hear the reverend utterly destroyed his chances with the only girl in town that liked him?"

"I hear that Florence married someone after she left town."

But somehow Mary never heard these rumors about the reverend. In fact most rumors she heard were about her supposed relationship with her adopted parents. She was mortified to say the least. But still tried to walk through town like nothing bothered her. When she noticed people whispering about her and it really bothered her to no end.

Although another person heard these rumors and decided to do his Christianly duty and help the lost soul. That person or should I say kid was Orel Puppington. 

Orel was a 10 year old who lived in Moralton. He had soft brown hair that was usually combed downwards with baby blue eyes. He often wore a light blue and white horizontal striped shirt with blue jeans.

Although he originally didn't plan to help Mary in the christian way. Infact he would pop by Elizabeth's shop catch up with her, or sometimes he also bought some art supplies from her. This was how he met Mary

That day was a normal Saturday for Elizabeth and Mary.  Mary was in the back room doing inventory and Elizabeth was maning the counter. When Orel Puppington walked through the door.

"Hey Orel come to get some more yarn today?" Elizabeth greeted

"Yes, Ms. Elizabeth my mom needed me to get some more black yarn."

"Alrighty well we have many brands of yarn do you have the specific brand?" Elizabeth asked coming out from the counter

"I don't know the name.. But it did have a picture of a cat on it." Orel answered

"Hmm... That's yarns and whiskers.." Elizabeth said to herself and went to where the item was usual stocked only to find the specific color gone

"Hey Mar!" Elizabeth yelled to the back room

Mary walked out of the room a clip board in hand

"Yeah?" She asked

"Do we have yarns and whiskers color black in the back?" Elizabeth asked

Mary looked down at the clipboard for a couple of minutes until she looked up again

"Yeah we do! In 3.5 and 8.5 which do they want?" Mary asked

"Which one Orel?" Elizabeth asked

"Hmmm 8.5? So that way my mom doesn't need yarn for a while." Orel asked

"Alrighty Mary will get the item and I'll ring you up."

Mary went back into the back room to find the yarn
