A Basket and a Package
A flower in his pocket
A smile on his lips,
AJ thanked Loren
And gave her a gentle kiss
He then took her hand
Said he'd go with her
He carried the basket
Loren prepared for Hugh
A short ride to the Bellows
Dusty welcomed them in
They found Hugh sitting on his porch
Feeling better and on the mend
Beautiful flowers and hot noodles
Painted a smile on the smithy's face
He ate the noodles with gusto
And put the flowers on a vase
Stories swapped,
With lots of laughs
An hour zipped by
before they left
AJ led Loren to a detour
On the way back to town,
To watch the sunset on Lover's Hill
And the rising of the moon
As they went back to the cafe
Ray and Gyn were gearing up
AJ donned his apron
Dinner service was about to start.
"You look like you two had a good time,"
Gyn teased.
AJ grinned widely,
"And that's none of your business."
Ray laughed,
But suddenly remembered,
Old Jim, from the train station
Dropped by earlier
"Old Jim was here for snacks, AJ,
Said a package for you arrived
Just visit him at the station,
You can claim it anytime."
