It was Sunday afternoon and my parents and I had decided to take a trip to town. Ever since my last encounter with John hes been like a ghost. Thomas has made an appearance a few times since we first met and him and my father seem to be becoming good friends. I had to wonder if I had scared Mr. Carrigan away, surely not, he was more frightening when he was flustered then I was. I seemed to always find myself waiting at the top of the stairs when Thomas would come by, and every time I was disappointed when he showed up alone. My parents didnt seem to notice this and I was thankful, they might call for him and send me off to wed him if they knew I was feeling this way.
I shook my head and banished John Carrigam from my thoughts. Today was a beautiful day and my gown was almost as flattering.
The waist was almost too cinched as I tried to catch my breath. My parents were first to exit the carriage and as they did they departed for a little ribbon shop that my mother visited every Sunday afternoon. I however found no interest in following them around so I headed in the opposite direction. I found a nice spot by a large fountain just a few streets down and I leaned against the rails peering down at the cool water,
"Isnt it refreshing?" I nearly jumped out of my skin when I turned and was met by a familiar set of hazel eyes. May was nearly a foot taller then me and almost scooped me up when she hugged me.

I let out a shriek of joy and held May's hands in mine, giving her a good look over,
"My dear friend it has been too long, yet you still look as young and beautiful as ever, how are you fairing this wonderful spring?" May gave me a cheerful smile and threw a few seeds out to the birds,
"I may be young at heart but you my darling are glowing, have you met someone?" I folded my arms the way I do when I get defensive and May had caught on,
"Oh come on, how long have we been friends? You can tell me anything you ought to know that" I sighed and dropped my arms,
"Okay, I did meet someone but not the way you think. He's so arrogant and cocky, I've never been afraid of anyone but May he terrifies me, and yet I miss him, I dont want to but I cant seem to help myself, he's dangerous and not at all what I'm used to" May smirked and shook her head,
