Desiree had the evening off from working at the saloon, so she decided to take a walk around the town. She liked the male population being attracted to her, so she was wearing one of her green and white fancy saloon dresses. After taking a leisure stroll around town and not finding anything to preoccupy her time, she decided to roam over to the livery and rent a buggy, maybe that handsome rugged blacksmith would volunteer to accompany her. Upon arriving at the stables she saw the waitress from the hotel.

Laura was about to climb aboard a buggy she had just rented when she saw a lady coming her way. They had never actually met, but Laura knew it was Desiree because you learn lots of people�s names being a waitress for the hotel. "Good evening," Laura said trying to be polite.

"Good evening," Desiree replied. "Have you seen Justin?" I want to rent a buggy.

"I�m sorry but you just missed him. He rode off right after renting me this buggy."

Desiree swore vehemently out loud. She saw the frown on Laura�s face. "I�m sorry. Please forgive my outburst."

"No problem." Laura said.

"I was really looking forward to going for a ride. There�s nothing to do in town at the moment." Exasperated Desiree leaned against the corral post.

Laura hated to see anyone sad or hurt. "Would you like to go for a ride with me?" Laura would feel awful if she didn�t offer.
