"It's perfect David!" Christy screamed, flushing red for a moment on realizing how inappropriate her volume had been. David just chuckled walking away from the table of nails and hammers.
"You found one?" She smiled as she stared at the ground.
"The kids will love it. I can't wait until they see it."
"It's a big one. It might be difficult to ride back with it."
"That's why I told you to bring the cart along with us!"
"I didn't think it would be that big!"
"David did you never carve up a pumpkin for Halloween? Did you never roast pumpkin seeds? Did your mother ever make pumpkin pie?" David chuckled at the growing excitement in her voice. He loved her excitement and child like joy she had in everything she did. Even when selecting a pumpkin it was present.
"Yes I did, just I never had a pumpkin the size of my house before!"
"Oh stop exaggerating it's not that big. Now come let's pay and head back to the mission it's going to be dark soon." David sighed with a shake of his head staring at the monster. Two people, one horse, a giant pumpkin and seven miles from home. Christy was right he should have brought the cart with him.
"David why don't we leave it here and you can come back later in the week and pick it up. Perhaps you should try to recruit an army to help!"
"Oh stop exaggerating it's not that big!" She smiled at his sarcastic undertones as she blushes once more from the feelings he again had left her upon her. She loved that feeling. It felt like joy.
"Shall we heading home Miss Huddleson?"
"Yes we shall Reverend Grantland."
