"Courting True"
Our lives had become hectic
With all that was going on in town.
I saw her sitting in the café
Wearing a frown.

Bella asked me to join her for lunch
I was a welcome reprieve
When she'd seen me, she smiled
And I felt relieved.
Whatever was wrong
Thankfully, wasn't me.
"Anything new?"
Bella asked, hoping to hear
Something about the missing
People from town.

She was glad to see Brody
Their jobs keep them apart
Some tome together now
Happy schedules allowed.
"I'm afraid not."
He knew she worried for Petra
Jacob, too. Hew as glad to know
Josie was safe with Rue.
"Marshall came in yesterday,"
Was all he could really say.

"That's good, your jail seems
to be reaching capacity."
She chuckled, trying to see
The air surrounding them.
"I'll be glad to see Alexander
gone. Trouble, he will never
cause again."
Brody reached out and took her hand
In a show that he understands.
"I'll be happy when you can put
that part of your life behind you."
Bella smiled,
"I have and I focus on the now,
not the part where I can't control."

Brody liked where this was going.
Bella's been so distracted as of late.
"You know Bella I've never actually
Taken you on a proper date."
She was shocked,
"A proper date?
What do you mean?"
"I mean most of our dates
I've been stuck working.
I want to court you in a proper way."
Brody wished he knew what to say.
It was coming out all wrong.
Then Tru jumped in with a song.
"Ok," she nodded in response
Bella was rendered speechless,
The blush on her cheeks spoke for her
She was in awe of her boyfriend
And Truman's playing too.

They enjoyed a special lunch together
Reluctant to part when it was through.
But both had their parts to play
and would have to settle for lunch today.
