Our journey came to a halt only a few feet in as we reached a barrier of bushes no one had slashed a path through yet. But then we were exactly where ...e wanted to be and as I sat down next to her I instinctively put my arm around her shoulder, enjoying the feel of goosebumps on her skin and the silence around us.We looked at each other for the shortest moment before her finger pressed down on my lip, only to be replaced by the tender touch of her own lips a second later.

I'll do what I can as long as I'm able."That was what I liked about all of these farming people. They all worked hard but they expected to work hard.
