Chapter 64

Oliver Tarrant whistled a tune as he headed home from the Green Dragon Tavern and Inn. His apartment was not but three blocks distant from the Tavern and he was tired from an evening in the kitchen and helping the wenches carry out orders to the customers. He was still pondering one order in particular that he had carried to a table where a stunning red-haired woman sat with a morose-looking man who had a silver hook in lieu of his right hand. Trying not to stare, nonetheless he could not but notice that she was an exotic looking beauty. Appearing to be bored, she gazed about the place as if searching for a familiar face, as did her companion.

She had looked at him and looked away, and then had looked again and had actually smiled at him. He could still recall the feeling of being singled out for even a smile from such a beauty, and could not but hope that she would return some night soon without the man with the hook on his arm. A nice looking young man of twenty years, he was lean and fit looking, with pale blonde hair and sharp hazel colored eyes, around five-foot ten inches tall, and maybe around one hundred sixty pounds. Used to being lucky with the ladies and beyond friendly with three of the wenches at the place, he was a happy-go-lucky young man with a steady job in one of the busiest establishments in New York City. If asked, he would have to say that life was good, war or no war.

As he ran up the long set of stairs to his flat, he had just reached his door when his peripheral vision caught movement on the stairs. Alarmed he whirled and changed his stance to one of being ready to fight. To his astonishment, the very same beautiful redhead he had seen at the tavern that night was coming up the steps, seeming to flow toward him like water. On her face, he could just make out a mysterious smile and her emerald eyes almost had a glow about them.

Stopping some three steps below the landing she said “Why Oliver! Look at your face! You would think that I was a monster instead of a woman.”

“I… I did not mean to stare… ma’am.”

Coming up another step she replied “I don’t mind being ogled by a handsome fellow like you. It pleases me, Oliver.”

“You… you will have to excuse me, ma’am. I do not know your name.”

“I am Yvonne, Oliver and I have a very good reason for following you here tonight.”

Still he stood staring as she smiled gently in the moonlight, saying “”Aren’t you going to ask me to come in?”

“Oh… uhm… yes, yes. Please excuse me… Yvonne is it?”

She nodded as she seemingly glided up the last two steps to stand facing him. He caught a faint scent of something akin to apple blossom as he continued to stare at her, seemingly in thrall.

Tipping her head a bit, she smiled again, quizzically as she raised her eyebrows.
