It was late afternoon when Annette stole out of the woods returning back to the house when she saw a car parked outside Mr Thompson's house.
She got curious and walked steadily towards the kitchen door.
Margaret the chef was preparing beef stroganoff.As she tossed the ingredients she could hear voices from the drawing room Two men were discussing something in great depth.She waited for awhile then taking a tray filled two tall glasses of strawberry magherita and sent it with the maid There was silence for awhile and soon lunch was served.The guest enjoyed the meal as there persisted a complete silence.
"Who is the visitor ?" asked Annette.
"They came a month ago ,it's Mr Thompson's nephew." replied the maid.
A wild sensation ran through Annette.
It must be him she thought.She turned on her heel and walked towards the hedge.She waited in silence hoping to see the figure emerge.Then Harry and Mr Thompson stood shaking hands at the entrance.Harry got into the car and looked straight at her through his rear view mirror.
He spun the vehicle around and as he came closer to the hedge he stopped.
"Hi I was hoping to see you around,"
he said.
"What brings you here?", she asked.
"I'm going to start a new business and stopped by for some advice ",he replied." What about you?"
"I'm going to Grimley Square to complete my studies." She spoke excitedly.
" Well may I see you off and on?" he asked eagerly.
" Yes you may." she replied.
" See you then ," he said driving off.
It was brief but the memory of the incident had left Annette wistful.She went over the conversation in her mind repeatedly.It was apparent that his appearance had left an impression on her.He was so spontaneous and charming.The future seemed to take its course as she looked forward to their next meeting.
