R&R

Karen sat on the dock. Why was her father such a dork? He never understood her…

"When you were a child" he said.

"yeah… when I was a child…" Karen mumbled to herself. "Well guess what father! I'm no child. Not anymore…"

"Excuse me?"

Karen jumped up and spun around. It was the new guy who moved in next door. She had watched him come in, but didn't really pay any interest to him. Her mother was all excited. It was just like her…

"Sorry to startle you. Um, my name is Tyson," he said with a smile.

"Great." Said Karen, turning around again.

"I… uh… just moved in here… do you live here?" he asked ackwardly.

"Not here specifically, but at the vineyard, yes."

"Oh really then! We're neighbors. What's your name?"

Persistent, aren't we? Karen thought. "Karen. It's Karen."

"That's a nice name."

This startled her. No one had ever said that her name was 'nice' before. Nobody hated it either. This was indeed an interesting boy. She stood up and turned around. She wanted to get to know him better.

"I work at the local bar. You should come down some time. Right now though, I'm heading to Ann's house. Bye."

She started to walk off, but her called after her. "Wait!" he cried catching up to her. "I'm heading there too! They seem to have a horse that they want to give away. I was going to look into it…"

"Fine." She said. "Follow me."
