"It must be pretty hard to get around in winter time, no?" asked Jack as him and Hamish walked down the road
"Sometimes but it goes quicker when you go by horse" replied Hamish
"You have a horse?" Jack asked
"Aye. We have 2 horses" Hamish replied before opening the gate to his farm "Here we are Jack. Home sweet home"
Hamish and Jack both walked forward before Hamish stopped to close the gate behind them
"This place looks quite a bit better then my old farm" Jack said to himself as he walked toward the house
Hamish laughed a little "Don't forget that your farm has not been used in quite some time. Don't worry, we'll have your old place up and running in no time" said Hamish as he walked beside Jack
Hamish walked up to the house door and opened it for Jack" In you go"
Jack walked into the house and set his bag down beside the coat closet
"So what do you think?" Hamish asked as he walked up beside Jack
Jack looked around. The house was a small log cabin but it had been well taken care of and looked very good on the outside as well as the inside
"It's great. I like how it's dark wood" replied Jack
"Well let me give you the grand tour" said Hamish before walking around the corner and into the small kitchen "This is the kitchen..as you can probably tell by the stove and..well.." he trailed off
Jack laughed
Hamish smiled "What am I thinking? It's not like your going to get lost in this place. You can find your own way around and if you need anything just ask, alright?" said Hamish
"Alright thanks but I.." Jack was interrupted
"Is that Billy from town?" asked a voice that was coming from the living room
"Who's that?" asked Jack
"My wife" replied Hamish "No it's not Billy. Why don't you come out and see who I've brought home tonight?"
"Your wife? your married?" Jack asked while looking very confused
"Yep, didn't I tell you?" asked Hamish as a young woman walked into the kitchen
Hamish walked over and kissed her on the cheek "Does he look familiar?" Hamish asked the young woman
The girl smiled "Jack..your Jack from the city, right?" the girl asked
"That's me" replied Jack "I just came back here today to grandpa's old farm but the house is not in very good shape and then I bumped into Hamish and he invited me over to stay the night. I hope that's alright with you"
"You can stay as long as you like" she said with a smile
"Thanks..so..what's your name?" Jack asked
"Don't you remember me?" she asked
Jack looked at her and thought for a moment "Hmmm..Anne?"
"That's me" Anne replied with a smile
"Wow..I haven't seen you in..it's got to be at least 6 years" said Jack
"Something liked that. I remember we used to go up the mountains to pick berries" replied Anne
"Yeah I remember that! and I remember one time you sprained your ankle on the way back and I had to carry you all the way" Jack said as he laughed a little bit
Anne blushed "It wasn't the whole way.."
Hamish started to laugh "Not much has changed with her since then Jack. About 2 weeks ago she twisted her ankle while trying to chase a chicken back into the barn"
Anne blushed even more "Awww come on, you didn't have to bring that up.." she said as her face went red
Hamish chuckled a bit "Sorry love" he said before giving her a kiss on the cheek
"You 2 must be hungry..would you like me to make you something to eat?" asked Anne
"I'm starving..I haven't ate since I left the city this morning" replied Jack
"What would you like? keep in mind that I'm not really a good cook" Anne said
"Do you know how to make pancakes?" asked Jack
Anne laughed "I just made those this morning. Would you like me to make you some now?"
"That would be great" replied Jack
"Coming right up" Anne said with a smile before taking out her mixing bowl
"Have a seat Jack" Hamish said as he sat down at the table which was not far from the kitchen
"Thanks" Jack said before sitting down across from Hamish at the small table
"So what have you been up to in the city?" asked Anne from the kitchen as she mixed the pancake mix
"Not much to be honest. I was thinking of getting a job at this place that worked on computers and stuff like that" Jack replied
"Computers? those are pretty complex aren't they?" asked Anne
"In some ways but they can do alot of really cool things. Some cars have computers and they can help you get to where your going without getting lost" replied Jack
"Aye but I heard that they can stop working sometimes" Hamish said
"Well sometimes they can freeze or glitch" said Jack
"I'll stick with riding my horse. I keep her well fed, groomed and she'll take me to where I want to go without freezing up on me" Hamish said with a chuckle
Jack smiled and thought to himself "I think I'm really going to like it here"
