This is the about the fourth time I've written this story. I've learned, from hating the results of the first three, that I write best in first person, and so this story will be written that way.

Leaning her forehead against the window, she felt the cool glass calm her, her eyes tracking the form in the yard. For whatever reason, he did not like the riding lawnmower, and instead used an old fashioned push one that he had found in one of the barns. Moving at almost a jog, he went line by line, meticulously cutting her grass. He was cute when he did, s...
