Some Best Friend You Are
Rukelion sat in his office listening to Conrad blather, tapping his fingers on the desk impatiently counting the minutes until he could go home. His day off was tomorrow and he was planning on using it to help Daisy do some late winter/early spring planting.
They weren't even planning anything right now. There was no purpose for Conrad talking Rukelion's ear off.
He honestly could not care less what sort of sweets Elaine Fairweather liked or what her favorite color was or how many siblings she had. He had learned far more about this woman he had never met in the past few days than he ever wanted to.
"…and she's from a farming town about a week east of here but came to the capital looking for a way to provide for her family. I understand exactly what that's like and our hometowns are only a few hours away from each other…" Conrad continued.
