Chapter 7: An Unexpected Resident
Holding the reins to Chester, Jack's horse, Jack picked up some bluegrass and wildflowers that lay on the ground near the Harvest Goddess pond. Tucking them into his extra bags that were strapped to Chester, Jack waved to Muffy and many of the other bachelorettes that walked the way to stare at the enchanting beauty.
Pulling Chester over to Vesta's farm, Jack tied Chester to a small post and entered the building. Its stacks of seeds and produce used to intimidate him when he first began his trip as a farmer, but the struggle lessened and lessened as the days wore away at him. Walking up to the counter the dark hair man nodded to Jack and handed him a giant ledger. Jack loved to spend at least ten minutes a day looking at all the seeds he could potentially grow and save in his hopefully-built-soon storage unit.
The bell attached to the door rung and in walked Celia the young worker on Vesta's spacious farm. In her arms a small basket of kittens sleep in balls. Instantly closing the book, Jack began to coo the kittens and cuddle their fluffy fur.
"Jack you can have one. Vesta wanted to sell them, but since you're new you can choose one before we put them on the market." Her big brown eyes smiled back at Jack as he stared into the pile of fluff. Lifting up an orange and white striped cat, Jack nodded a goodbye to the two farmers and left.
Placing the kitten in his front overall pocket Jack laughed as the cat played with a passing flying bug. He named him Tucker.
