Scarecrow of 1889

There once was a boy who was an orphan and suffered abuse from his village residents. The only friend he had was the dummy scarecrow on the field, whom he talked to. One day, a wealthy man brutally beat the boy. The next morning, the wealthy man was found dead, and the scarecrow was covered in blood.  Terrified, the villagers were convinced that the scarecrow had come to life to avenge its tormented friend. And it was the last scarecrow ever placed again in the fields, considering it a sign of death.  —   After scarecrow dolls begin appearing in the streets of Riddleford next to murder victims, the town is thrown into chaos. When the hunt for the mystery scarecrow murderer begins, it is only a matter of time before the famous Frontier Hall Opera House employees are subjected to suspicion, each protecting a secret of their own. But is that all that is going on? Or is there something unseen?

Heiress of Reinhart

Jane's eyes widened at the sight of her things scattered, and she quickly bent down to pick them up. She stooped to gather them, and almost immediately, Ricardo slid gracefully to her side to assist.

"It seems fate isn't quite done with us today," he remarked with an amused smile. 

Once her things were back in her trunk, Jane tried to close it, but with the handle broken, she tried to carry it, when Ricardo took it from her with ease. 

"Allow me to do it. It would be a shame for you to carry it when I am here. Por favor," Ricardo moved the trunk away from her when she tried to reach for it. "Hm?" he caught her staring at him. 

"Thank you for helping, Gracias," Jane expressed her gratitude, a bit embarrassed at the inconvenience. "I'm usually better prepared, Mr. Wood."
