"Grandma, Tell us about your adventure." Crystal McCarty said eagerly.

"Yeah Grammy!" Her twinbrother Carl exclaimed.

LilaMcCarty sighed and kept rocking in her rocking chair.

"Do you two really want to hear about my western adventure?" She asked.

The two 6 year olds nodded and sat down.

"Alright, Well where do you want to begin?"

'Oh no Julie is going to skin me alive!'Lila thought running toward the hospital.

'At the time I was working as a nurse, Julie was my mentor.'

Lilaturned the corner and bumped into someone, sending them both to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." She said looking to see who she knocked over.

"No i'm sorry, I was not watching where I was going." John Tunstall said helping her up.

Lila brushed herself off and studied the new comer to the area. "Oh sorry I forgot my manners, I'm Lila. Lila McCarty."

John kissed her hand and said, "John Tunstall. Pleased to meet you."

"Likewise. Sorry Mr. Tunstall but I have to be getting to the hospital. My mentor is going to skin me alive if I don't get there soon." Lila urgently said.

"Of course, I hope to see you again Lila."

Lila smiled and hurried off to the hospital. 'Well he seems nice enough.'
