Neighborhood Walk

As usual, Nancy goes out in the afternoons during the week, then on the weekend to get a feel of the new Area they will be living in for at least a year.

Although she is pretty, you will catch her wandering around with jeans, a loose-fitting T-shirt, and her wavy brown hair in a bun under her cap, basically looking like a young teenage boy. Her mother always tells her to wear more feminine clothing, it is not like she doesn't have any, but Nancy simply says that the way she dresses is more comfortable for walking around or jogging in.

The second Saturday​, walking around town, she came across the public library and walked right in. The public library was about the same size as other towns, but nonetheless, she started looking up and down the aisles, looking for something new or interesting, she starts to pick up her pace now, remembering a romance novel she was in the middle of reading before they moved to this town.

Having to lift up her cap in order to see the top shelves as well and of course, she finally finds the book but, it is on the top shelf. She tries to reach it but then realizes she will need to call someone for help. To her surprise though, as soon as she turned around she bumped into something hard, but ...warm too. She is about to look up and excuse herself when the man apologized for getting so close, but that he was going to help "him" retrieve the book. Yes, "him", Nancy used to being called a boy with her getups, just simply straightens up and says thanks after receiving the book then quickly excuses herself to find a seat. Never once noticing how the man was watching her every move.
