One Spring Day, a young woman was busy at the inn's counter, cooking, when a young man went up to her.
"More curry rice, Cliff?" the woman said.
She was in a shirt, yellow dress, red hair, a white ponytail and blue eyes. She also had a necklace.
"My favorite, Nana!" said Cliff.
He was in a red shirt and a yellow and blue shirt, short brunette hair and dark blue eyes.
"H-How'd you know?" Cliff asked.
Anna smiled. "You always have it in the morning!"
Cliff stood up. "I got to go."
He left his curry at the counter.
"And I wanted to spend more time with him," Anna said to herself. "I'll follow him!"

Anna walked behind Cliff. She didn't mean for it to be creepy, but Cliff was far ahead of her.
"Cliff!" she called.
Cliff stopped at the local church.
Then he walked away.
"Cliff?!" Ann called, again.
Then a hand caught her and pulled her in.

It was Father Carter.
"You were there for Cliff, right?" he asked.
"I walked towards him," she said. "I haven't been 'there for him', yet."
"That's disappointing," said Carter. "There's a girl at the inn who he's quite fond of. He didn't say who."
"Is it me?!" Anna asked.
"He. Did. Not. Say. Who," Carter tried to explain. "But, regardless, Cliff should have more friends."
"I'll be his friend!" said Anna.
Father wanted to give more advice, but Ann went out the door.
Carter yelled behind her, "He's probably at the juice winery this time of day.
"I heard it!" Anna called behind her.

Cliff was in the Adge Juice Winery. He was cleaning a table when Anna walked in. Cliff ducked underneath the table. Anna tried to greet him but he went out the door.
A woman walked up to Anna.
She was in a yellow and orange apron, blue shirt, red lipstick, short black hair, fake red grape earrings and dark blue eyes.
"Ann, right?" she asked.
"Yes, and you're Manna, too?" Anna asked. "Recognize me?"
"Yes!" said Manna. "I recognize a lot about you! You work at the inn and cook and eat there!"
"How?" Anna asked.
"I'm able to tell you about anyone in town!" Manna said.
"That sounds like gossip," Anna said.
"Well, regardless of feelings, there's another man here just like you! He's been described as a hermit, but he lives indoors at the inn and has a job, here! Now, I didn't tell who, so now it's unknowable," Manna said in a long explanation.
"You mean Cliff, right?" Anna asked.
Manna was dumbfounded. "But how?"
"The description," said Anna. "Besides, I saw him under the table and then before he left."
"That boy needs more friends," said Manna. "Maybe you?"
Anna threw up her hands. "If he stops walking away from me!"
Then a man walked into the room. There was a juice cup in his hand.
He was in a yellow shirt, red suspenders, brunette hair, red and pink hat and beady eyes.
"Don't mind me," he said. "I don't like gossip."
"Duke!" Manna called. "That was my husband." she said to Anna. "He sure loves the juice."
"I have to leave, anyhow," said Anna. "I'm about to find my new friend!"
Then, she opened the door to leave.
And saw Duke standing there.
"I heard most of the conversation," he said. "Why not get your father, Dudley, to help?'
"He's nice," said Anna. "But I no longer see how he may help."
"The two of you may help him find another place to live," Duke said.
"Why should I help him find a new place to live?" asked Anna. "He'd have more time to himself."
"Don't be selfish!" said Duke. "He'll have more time to think about his life."
Anna threw up her hands. "It's a good idea as any!"
So, Anna went to talk to her father.

"Why should we show your boyfriend a new house, anyhow?" Dudley asked Anna at the inn in the early morning.
He was in a red and yellow checkered shirt, brown apron, red tie, red hair and blue eyes.
Anna blushed. "It's not like that!"
"Well, there's no vacant houses in the area," said Dudley, pointed it out.
"Lets start by asking him," said Anna.
Dudley and Anna walked up to Cliff's room. Dudley knocked. Cliff answered the door.
Cliff rubbed his hand on his face. "What's the matter with you two?"
"We wanted to say that we think you should move out," said Anna.
"Why?" asked Cliff.
Dudley looked to Anna.
"We," said Anna. "Think. The more time you spend in your new house, you'll miss everybody else and want to spend more time with others."
"Well, that sounds like nonsense!" Cliff said.
"I'm sure Duke and Manna agree," said Anna.
Cliff said nothing more. He went out the door.
"Where's he ended up? asked Dudley.
"He may only be in one of two places," said Anna.
Then Anna went out to find Cliff.

First, Anna went to Father Carter, again.
"That's not sensible at all!" Carter explained when Anna told him the news.
"Then what about I tell him?" asked Anna.
"Tell him you miss him," said Carter. "You want him home."
"I will!" said Anna.
Anna went to the only other place in town Cliff may be.

Anna arrived at the winery.
"You trickster!' she said at Duke.
"What is it?" Manna asked Duke, her hands on her hips.
"Yeah," said Cliff. "What is she talking about?"
"You were the one being selfish!" Anna said. "You were hoping he'd move in with you, Duke!"
Everybody stared at Duke.
"Well, then blame me for everything!" he said.
Manna, Cliff and Anna frowned.
Then they all said, "It's okay."
Then, all four embraced.
"I want to stay with Anna," Cliff said. "That okay, everybody?"
"Yes," said Manna.
"Follow your dreams!" said Duke.
"I'd love that!" said Anna.
"Y-You love it?" asked Cliff.
"Yes!" said Anna.
"Then I'll pack up my things I rushed over here and return to the inn!" said Cliff.
"I'll help!" said Anna.
"Us, too!" said Manna and Duke.
They packed Cliff's things and Anna helped him home.

Anna and Cliff woke up the next day and Anna cooked the food.
"I've always loved your cooking," said Cliff. "It was one of the only things that I looked forward to everyday."
"Please, help me with the rest of my work?" Anna asked. "My dad is trying to get me to branch out since I'll inherit the inn, one day."
"Sure!" said Cliff.
"Really?" asked Anna. "But didn't you get tricked into working, yesterday?"
"It's different with you," said Cliff. "You aren't lying to me. By the way, do you mind if I continue to visit the church and also work at the winery?"
"I think it's okay!" said Anna.
So, Anna and Cliff grew closer.
And Cliff was talking more.
So, Cliff not only helped at.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One day, after everybody besides Cliff and Anna had left to spend their days, Cliff and Anna were the only ones left.
Cliff went up to Anna, who was at the desk.
"Anna, will you give me your foot?" Cliff asked.
"Huh?!" she asked in surprise.
She did, regardless of her confusion.
Cliff held her foot and went on one knee.
"Will you marry me?" he asked.
Anna jumped for joy!
"Of course I will!"
Next, began their wedding.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Father Carter officiated the wedding.
"First, Cliff will speak!" he said.
Cliff got out a blue feather.
"I enjoy our time together and how you always look out for me," said Cliff. "I love you!"
He presented Anna the feather.
"Then, Anna!" said Carter.
Anna also got out a blue feather.
"I enjoy your help and how you love my cooking!" said Anna. "I love you!"
She presented Cliff another blue feather.
Then they kissed!
As they walked the aisle, they were approached by Pete.
"You ever meet a little boy, here, who likes to play sardines?"
"No," said Cliff. "I moved here, recently."
"I've heard about it," said Anna. "But I've never played that game with anybody."
"Okay," Pete said, disappointed.
His siblings also wouldn't like the news.
But, at least, two more people were married.
