Misunderstandings

Arrival~

The sound of her dog barking and sea salt in the air made Jacklin think of her childhood. Her grandfathers farm, a girl she was friends with and her first crush. The stream she'd play in until she was drenched; the lockets that her grandfather had gotten her and her redheaded friend to remember each other. Jack sat there reminiscing from her last trips to mineral town that she was only awakened from her daze due to a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw a man taller than 6 foot, masculine with some kind of buzz-cut/ brush head –hair style; Then the man spoke

"sir this is the last stop" his voice deep and hearty

"If you missed your stop I can take you back a stop or two, I don't mind" he said rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile.

The brim of her hat covered her eyes most of the time, but when she looked up, he saw her brown eyes double in size in a matter of seconds .By the look on his face she must've done something abnormal; His face had given off a terrified look compared to the soft expression he had just seconds ago.

"Were in mineral town aren't we?" she asked with concern while blinking innocently. The man startled by her quick response nodded dumbly and went over to grab her dark green suitcase walking off the boat and onto the dock. Jacklin scanned the beach as a smile tugged at her thin lips,

"just as I remembered it". Once again she was awakened from her daze, but it was caused by her dog, Max's howling. She let out a loud whistle and the dog followed her onto the dock.

She picked up her suitcase as Max trotted down the sandy beach getting sand in his fur 'great now I have to wash him again' she thought while smacking her head and rubbing her temples with her free hand.

"Oh, thank you for bringing me here…"

"Zack, and you?" he said with his hearty voice. "

I'm jackl-, Max stop eating the sand silly puppy!"She called out while running after her dog who was gunning for town square.

"Thanks Zack!"Jack called out before entering the square and all he could think of his meeting with Jack was "weird guy" and "why was he here in little old mineral town". He didn't have an answer until he was out at sea, bringing his shipments to the city; it had to be the farm.
