checking the mail
May. 9th, 2008 11:23 pmShy enjoyed taking the boat to the mainland so he could check the mail at the small post office in town. Most of the time Orli would go with him, but today he was solo. The clerk behind the counter was always sweet to him, and today was no different. She smiled and told him he was looking handsome as she handed him the stack of mail, knowing it would make him blush and mumble a bashful compliment in return.
"Say hello to Orlando and Will for me," she added, getting a friendly wave in return as Shy headed back to where the boat was docked.
He waited until he was back at the cabin to sort through everything. Will's mail was being stacked for when he returned from Hartford, and everything else was given to Orli. A postcard that looked as if it had been to the war and back caught his eye and he turned it over to read the back.
Grinning at hearing from his friend, he took it in for Orli to read. It was the first time he'd gotten any mail at his new home and he really liked how it felt.
