Ray rapped on Maria's door handle. Holding his trout gingerly in his arms, he knocked on the door of Maria's mansion. The lady librarian answered the door. She bowed in his presence. "Good evening, Ray..." she said, with her usual quiet voice. "What brings you here... Is that fish for me?' Ray smiled, and spoke up. "Yes, Maria, it is...!" Maria gasped, and smiled along with her. "What a lovely gift, thank you...!" Ray handed her the fish, gave her a loving kiss on the cheek. Then, the fisherman was off. As quick as he had appeared.
