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."
