Chapter 4
The Meeting
Lexa arrived at the shop first. She went in and dragged the box out from under the rack. Lifting it she took it to the counter, and explained to Mrs. Cronwell what she had found out about the box.
The older woman smiled at the teenager. "Always the detective, huh Lexa?" Lexa smiled
Looking out the shop window, Lexa saw a car pull up. A very tall young man exited the vehicle, looking around. She opened the door and walked out. "Are you Bobby?" She looked up in his face. His brown eyes twinkled, and his black curly hair was cut neatly against his head.
He smiled. "You must be Lexa." He extended his hand. She took it and saw hers disappear in his large hand. He looked into her warm eyes. Her face was framed by her honey brown hair.
"I explained things to Mrs. Cronwell, the shop owner." Lexa removed her hand from his and took his arm by his sleeve, and pulled him into the shop. Lexa introduced him to Mrs. Cronwell.
The older woman smiled at him. "The box was donated a few days ago. Lexa told me that this is yours. She pushed the box towards Bobby.
He opened it and went through its contents. Picking out a few items, he set them on the counter. He dug into his pockets. Bobby pulled a few bills and put them on the counter. Mrs. Cronwell shoved the bills back at him. Bobby raised his brows. "None of that young man. These things belong to you."
Bobby put the bills back in his pocket, smiling shyly. "Thank you." He put the items back in the box. Lexa went to the door and held it open for him. She followed him to the car and opened the rear door. He set it on the back seat.
Rubbing the back of his neck. "Ah, the key?"
Lexa laughed. "Sorry, almost forgot." She dug in her pocket and pulled out the key and handed it to him.
He smiled, putting it in his pocket. "Thanks." He bent nearly in half and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Enjoy the jacket." He got into his vehicle, and pulled away from the curb.
Lexa watched as he drove out of sight. I wonder if I'll ever see him again?
