It was a usual Sunday night. I was headed to the bar on the floor below the inn. It was quiet. I was surprised because Duke is usually waiting for me to challenge him to a drinking competition. He wasn't here today, so I was already bored

"Hey."

I jerked my head up and saw Ann.

"Ya gonna order anything, Karen?"

I sighed. "Yeah sorry... Just thought it was kinda quiet..."

"So what'll it be? The usual?"

"Sure." I answered as Ann went to get the wine.

Ever since her father died about a year ago, she's been working really hard on taking care of the place.

I feel bad for her.

She returns with a wine glass filled with wine.

"Thanks, Ann. You're doing a good job here..." I take a sip.

Ann sighs. "I do my best. It's what my father would want."

She's cute... Wait... What the fuck?

"You okay, Karen?"

"Huh!? Oh! Yeah heh... Just thinkin to myself..." I smile and blush.

Her voice is so soothing... What am I thinking!?

"Alrighty then. I'll be in back if you need me." She walks away.

Need? More like want... What is going on in my head!?

I finish the glass and walk home.

Oh god... I think I like her...
