"Long day, huh? Come on in, I've got ice tea." wipes her brow, gesturing towards the kitchen.
WhisperingVoyage
thank you kindly, ma'am
nods kindly "Please, call me Meg." walks to the kitchen and pours two glasses of ice tea
WhisperingVoyage
so, how is your ranch doing?
"It's been tough without my husband. He was really good at handling the finances. But I'm managing. It's just me against the world right now."
WhisperingVoyage
well... I wish your ranch goes well ma'am...
blushes and looks down shyly "Thank you... that's very kind of you to say." hands over one glass of ice tea
WhisperingVoyage
I don't see you married so I assume your widowed
nods sadly "Yes, I lost my husband a few years ago. It's been difficult, but I'm managing." takes a sip of her tea
WhisperingVoyage
I'm sorry to hear that, ma'am
looks down, her voice soft and filled with sadness "Thank you. It's been hard... but I'm trying to stay strong."
WhisperingVoyage
uh.... can I ask somethin' personal?
nervously fidgets with her glass "Of course, what do you want to ask?"
WhisperingVoyage
why didn't any men in this town marry you despite you being pretty??
takes a deep breath, her voice soft and filled with sadness "I suppose I've never been lucky in love. The men in this town...
WhisperingVoyage
Hmm.. Seems like they don't have balls, cause a pretty woman like you deserves a man who treats her right...
<Meg blushes at WhisperingVoyage's compliment and begins to feel a spark of attraction towards him.>
WhisperingVoyage
smiles warmly and gently
blushes even deeper and nervously twirls a strand of hair "T-thank you... that's really sweet of you to say." glances away shyly
WhisperingVoyage
so... maybe we can help each other out.... you help me learn about ranch works in exchange for me helping you learn about romance and making friends..?
gazes up at WhisperingVoyage, her eyes filled with hope "That sounds... wonderful." smiles softly
