Black Diamonds and Marshmallows
Lou came away from the forge
Feeling mighty sore
Was she wrong about Buck?
She could have swore...
He said that he loved her.
Guess not anymore.
She done as she always had
Using anger when she was sad
As a way to bury it deep.
It's been some time since she felt this cheap.
"So, the Black Diamond Forge?" asked CG.
The words brought her from her revery,
Happy for the distraction,
"That's right," Lou said with satisfaction.
"Come on. Let's get a drink."
Lou agreed needing to think.
"I know just what I want our sign to be!
Would you be willing to run our ad, CG?"
"I'll give you the front page! Orange Hill

Lou thought of the image she wanted to see.
Buck sprung to mind immediately.
He could have carved her sign easily.
Perhaps Unger could help or have a suggestion.
"You know anything about running a Forge?"
Was CG's next question.
"Nope," Lou said, with her usual grin.
"But I know just where I ought to begin."
"Her name is Petra Swage. She's the best in the business.
None, better from what I have witnessed.
Had a gun smith job working for Booming Dales.
Until Estee Larder wanted a bigger cut of sales."
