“Chavez, are you from here in Owen’s Bluff?”

“No Ma’am. I am from the next town over. But I have lived here in Owen’s Bluff for the past few years. I like it enough. It is very quiet.”

When Chavez responded, he did not give Lizbeth any eye contact. He stared at the road ahead as if he was only able to concentrate on their journey and not on the conversation she was starting.

“I’m not from here, as you probably know.” She was not sure why she was trying to force a conversation with a man she did not know.

He simply nodded and she continued.

“I’m from South Carolina. Have you heard of it?”

“Yes.”

“A small city near the coast. A beautiful place. Have you ever wanted to travel, Chavez?” She tried her best to be pleasant and calm as she tried to pull a conversation out of her driver.

She actually was not sure why she felt compelled to force a conversation with him. The fact that he seemed to be ignoring her turned her on more. She tried her best to get a good look at him head on, but he never turned around, so all she could focus on was his profile.

“Travel sounds exciting, Miss Lizbeth.”

“What if we traveled soon?” She waited for his answer to her proposal.

When he responded, he turned to her face to face.

“Mr. Bryan employed me as your driver. It is my duty to take you wherever you would like to go.”

That was just what Lizbeth wanted to hear.

“Chavez, that fact is music to my ears.”

“My pleasure, Miss Lizbeth.”

For a moment, their eyes connected. Lizbeth was not sure what she felt in that instant. It was confusing and thrilling all at once.

“Chavez, do you mind taking me on a tour of the city? I’m not quite ready to go home yet.”

“As you wish.”

He turned the carriage down a dirt road.

“Where are we going?”

“Owen’s Bluff is a beautiful place. It is filled with out-of-the-way spaces that are serene. I hope you like where I am taking you.”

She sat back, quietly, a bit uncomfortable that someone else was in control of the situation. Lizbeth was used to getting what she wanted, how she wanted it, and when she wanted it.

They came upon a lush clearing surrounded by greenery, accented with wildflowers and cacti. It was breathtakingly scenic.

“I would never have guessed that a place like this existed here in town. All I see are dirt roads. Well, except for the garden in my backyard. It is the only piece of heaven on Earth here that I have experienced. Besides this.”

Chavez helped her out of the wagon.

“So I take it that you are happy with my suggestion?”

“Yes. I am. Thank you.”

She took a moment to walk around and explore. It made her wonder how those flowers had ended up in this place, an oasis from all of the dust and dirt.

“If there is such lush greenery, there has to be water somewhere near.”

“You are correct. There is a small brook there on the eastern border.
