I Do Not Own South Of Nowhere, Nor Do I Own The Characters

Chapter Three

We were almost into town, I looked over and noticed Spencer looking out the window at the pond that everyone skated on during the winter. I reached over and turn down the radio that was playing a song that I didn't really want to hear at the moment.

"Can you Skate Spencer?"

"I haven't skated since I was a young girl, I don't think I could if I tried" we both laughed, I was starting to like her laugh and how she smiled.

"Well I would be more then happy to teach you again, if you like?"

"Sure I would like that" I turned back to driving, turning into the only art store we had in this town.

"I just have to go over there to grabs some boards for the deck, If you finish before me that's where I'll be"

"Okay, thanks again Ashley" I smiled and watched her go into the store, something about her made me smile.

I turned the jeep around and headed over to the timber mill, where I pulled into my spot in the back. I was here a lot and I knew the owner, he allows me to park back here where I could easly load what I needed.

"Hey Davies, what can I get you today?"

"Hey Ian, here is my list and can you include some nails too I think I'm almost out." He nodded and went off to get what I needed.

I walked into the store and started to look around, nothing changes in this store except the staff sometimes. I grabbed some pencils for marking my measurements, and picked up some paintbrushes. As I walked down the isles I couldn't help but look at some cow bells, they were always his favourite things about the country. I picked one out and headed to the cashier.

"How are you today Ash?" I didn't have to look up to know it was my uncle Jack, I smiled and gave him a hug

"Hey uncle Jack, I'm good how are you?" he shrugged and laughed.

"You know me, I'm always good kiddo" he started to ring my stuff through when he picked up the bell, I looked at him knowing what he was thinking.

"I thought I would buy one for the garage out back"

"I think this one would fit in nicely with the others"I nodded and handing him a twenty, grabbing my stuff and heading towards outback.

"See you Sunday for dinner, your aunt Ruth is making roast beef your favourite." I smiled and walked back giving him a hug.

"I'll be there uncle Jack, give a kiss to aunt Ruth for me" he smiled, and I turned towards the back exit.

Putting my glasses on I walked over to my jeep, putting my bag in the back. I noticed everything I needed was loaded so I got in and headed back over to pick up Spencer.
