"Miss Kathyrn!"
The voice came from behind me and I stopped to let it catch up around the bend in the path. A tall horse plodded along, carrying a tall man on its back.
"Good afternoon, Mr Tanner," I smiled up at him. "What brings you to our neck of the woods on this sunny afternoon?"Mr Tanner slid off his horse and pulled a scarf from his pocket. "I think you may have dropped this before." He opened my hand and placed it inside. "I wouldn't want you to leave it behind."
"Thank y-" The words trailed off as I met his eyes. Such intensity. I bit my lip self-consciously. Why was he staring so? Clearing my throat, I started again. "Thank you. That was really very kind of you."
"That's really all, I guess." He backed away, tipped his hat and mounted his horse once more. "Till we meet again."
"Oh, Mr Tanner?"
He looked at me questioningly.
"I think I lost this scarf last week."
His eyes flew open and I could've sworn that he colored a little. Till we meet again, indeed.
