Leah tried hard not to fantasise about what might happen on her date with Duncan. She wasn't sure how he felt about her; one kiss after a few glasses of wine didn't necessarily mean anything, however nice it was at the time.

Also she didn't know how long she was likely to stay in Winkleigh Marsh. The idea of staying for a long time had become very appealing. She had got ahead of herself though. This was just a first date and she might be on the rebound. It would be best to see what happened before making any decisions.

"So, what are you wearing tonight?" Jayne asked.

"I hadn't really thought... well, that's not quite true. I haven't decided."

"Come on then, let's have a look at what you've got. That's if you don't mind? I don't mean to interfere."

"Of course not. It'll be fun. We're going for a meal in a pub, he said. The Frog and Bucket, do you know it?"

"Of it. Don't think I've been in there."

They went through the contents of Leah's wardrobe, giggling at the various possibilities. It was obvious Leah hadn't been thinking clearly when she came to Winkleigh Marsh. She hadn't packed anything suitable for mucking out the pigs, but that was simply because she didn't own anything like that. There were a few outfits almost suitable for walking in the countryside - provided of course it wasn't damp, or muddy, and the route avoided grass and hedges.

"How about this?" Jayne asked. She was holding up a silky black silk top. "If you wore it with jeans it wouldn't be too dressy would it?"

"It's more undressy. I can't wear a bra with it and the front comes down to about here." She indicated a position that would expose plenty of cleavage.

"Sounds perfect."

"I'm not sure. I don't really know if this is just as friends or..."

"Wear that and I think you'll find out!"

Leah decided Jayne was right. She'd dress for a date and take her cue from him.

When Duncan arrived he was clutching a bunch of carnations. Duncan must have driven the four miles into town to get them which surely meant he'd given up his lunch hour for her.

Jayne took the flowers and said she'd put them in water.

"Thanks," Leah muttered. It was the first thing either she or Duncan had said since he'd arrived. Silly to be so nervous.

"Have a good time, both of you." Jayne turned Leah towards the door and gave Duncan a friendly shove.

"You look nice," Duncan said.

"Thanks, and thank you for the flowers."

"You're welcome."

She smiled up at him and suddenly they were both laughing. It seemed he'd felt as nervous as Leah had.

They chatted easily once they were in the car. Duncan teased her, asking if he should expect a flood on the way to the restaurant.

"Why?"

"First time I met you involved mud, then it was rain. A flood seemed the next step."

"In that case, I'll try to arrange a dry disaster for you to rescue me from."
