Seasons

An orange and red sunset shines down its soft glow upon the busy town of Arkaelos, particularly strong shining strong down the jam-packed market. People are busy closing their shops; preparing for the cold, autumn night ahead of them while Arco, one of the mentioned shop owners, is packing up his fruits and vegetables stand for the night. He quickly filled the sacks with his goods, loading said sacks behind the wooden stands and calling his assistant, Moya, to fully close down the stand.
"Moya!" the shop-owner shouted for his helper over the noisy market "Get the money and be ready to leave!"
Moya grabbed the bag full of money, which was on top of the empty stand, and walked towards her boss, who is still busy lifting the sacks of produce and placing behind the stand.
"Here" she gave the sack to Arco and stood beside him.
"Good" he said to his assistant as he took the bag.
"Today was a good day of business right?" Arco's attempt to make small talk with her while doing his work.
Sadly, his attempt went unnoticed by the younger female as the loud chattering and sounds of the marketplace drowned it out. He decided to drop it and finish packing up.

The Harvest Moon glowed brightly on the cloudy sky as the two vendors finished packing and has already left the stand. They walked out of the gate and onto the wooden bridge connecting the market to the other places. The wood planks groaned from their steps but noises like this are common for this old rickety bridge.
"What a beautiful night right?" Arco's another attempt to have a conversation with Moya; now no longer as employer and employee, but as man and woman.
"Yeah" Moya answered the man's question much to his surprise "Its beautiful".
"A-Ah" he stuttered a little from the woman's answer "Yeah".
The both of them stayed quiet for the whole walk, Arco being shy from trying to talk to her, until they reached the torch lit crossroads at the end  of the bridge.
Arco turned towards her and said "I guess I will see you tomorrow then".
"7 AM right boss?" she asked him while facing him.
"Yep and don't call me boss when we are out of work okay?" he told her in a friendly voice.
"Will do" she started walking towards the left path.
"See you tomorrow Arco!" Moya turned around and waved to her friend.
Arco returned with another friendly wave and looked at her in the distance as she continued walking away.
Once she was out of his view, he sighed with frustration and quietly asked himself "I don't have a chance with her right?".
The man adjusted his brown hair and went towards the right path of the intersection while thinking of many lost ways he can confess to his crush, Moya.
