As Aaron drove away, a vision of the moon shining down on Allison’s pretty face stuck in his mind. He was attracted to her; there was no denying it. Would it be a mistake if he tried to pursue a relationship with her?

Aaron halted his thoughts when another horse and buggy passed him and the driver shouted, “Can’t that old nag of yours go any faster than that? That poor critter must be half dead.”

James. Aaron gritted his teeth and gripped the reins as he fought to keep from hollering something mean in return. It would only give James the satisfaction of knowing he’d been able to get Aaron riled.

Aaron kept his horse going at a steady pace as he watched James’s buggy disappear over the next hill. He was probably in a hurry to get someplace, but it sure couldn’t have been home, since James lived in the opposite direction.

He’s probably heading for Seymour, Aaron thought. Probably plans to hang out there until the wee hours of the morning. He clicked his tongue to get his horse moving up the hill. It’s not my problem what James does or how he spends his time. I’ve got my own life to worry about.

When Aaron descended the hill, he was surprised to see James’s buggy pulled off to the shoulder of the road. “Guess you must have struck out with Allison, since you’re headed for home so soon, huh?” James called.

Aaron ground his teeth together and kept going. I won’t give that ornery fellow the satisfaction of goading me into an argument.

“That Allison, she’s really something, isn’t she?” James hollered as Aaron’s rig went past.

Keep going. Don’t look back. Don’t give him what he wants. He’s not worth it.

“Giddyup there, boy!” James whipped his horse and buggy past Aaron again. This time James just laughed and kept on going.

Aaron held his horse steady and felt relieved when he came to his driveway. At least he didn’t have to put up with James’s antagonizing anymore.
