The Journey Of Love: Nancy Olsen and Andrew Clark... Chapter 2

The next morning Nancy wakes up still happy and smiling about her time with Andrew the day before. She goes off to school with a spring in her step and Laura her teacher says, "Nancy, you are happy this morning I saw you yesterday riding with Andrew Clark in his buggy do you have a boyfriend?"

Nancy, " Oh, I don't know about that yet, I do like him a lot. He also asked me to the Valentine dance"

Laura, " Oh, that's great did you say you would go with him?"

Nancy, ''Yes."

Laura, " Wonderful you two did look happy together yesterday. I believe you two will make a great couple and Nancy you're becoming a fine young lady."

All throughout the day Nancy thinks of Andrew to that she can hardly focus on her school work. Laura notices and says, "Nancy I see you have Andrew on your mind" Nancy just smiles."

After school on the way home Nancy sees Andrew in the bank and waves, hello, Andrew waves back and quickly runs out and asks, "Nancy, I was thinking would you go on another buggy ride after church again on Sunday?"

Nancy, "Yes, see you than I need to get to the switchboard."

Andrew, "I have to get back to work to."

An hour or so goes by and Nancy at the switchboard and Andrew in the bank. Andrew is making calls to different places so he calls the switchboard alot, thus, Andrew and Nancy has more chances to chat a little between phone calls. While Nancy is talking to Andrew on the switchboard Nels comes in and says, "Nancy are you working or just talking to Andrew?"

Nancy, " Sorry Father, talking to Andrew." Nancy says to Andrew I need to let you go and get back to work.''

Andrew, "Yeah, I need to get to work to I need to be transferred to my father's Bank in Mankato."

Nancy transferred him, then hangs up. Than Nels says, "Nancy it is okay if you talk to Andrew but you should do your work."

Later that evening after supper and the dishes put away, sitting in the Living Room Nancy tells her mom and dad that she is going on another buggy ride Sunday afternoon with Andrew.

Harriet, "GREAT!"

As they continue to talk Nancy says, "Mom I was wanting to get a new dress for the Valentine dance can we look in the catalog?"

Harriet, "Of course."

Browsing through the catalog Harriet spots a red and white dress that has a small puff on the sleeves and flows out at the bottom. Harriet says, "Nancy what about that one? It looks perfect"

Nancy, "That is beautiful, yes mother that is perfect so beautiful."

Harriet, "Ok, than I will order it tomorrow to make sure it gets here in time."

Sunday afternoon comes and on the buggy ride Nancy tells Andrew, "My dress for the Valentine dance is ordered and on the way, it is beautiful"

Andrew asks, "What color is it? You will need a corsage to go with it."

Nancy, "Red and White with small puffs on the sleeves and it flows out at the bottom."

Andrew, "Sounds beautiful, a red corsage should do."

Andrew takes Nancy home gives a little kiss on the hand again and ask, "Another Buggy ride next Sunday?"

Nancy, ''Of course, I would love too!"

Buggy rides ever Sunday afternoon!
