My apologies (again) for my absence. I have been taking some time for my family and changing locations. Thank you for your patience, dearies. I will be back in regular business soon enough.
braveryearned: I haven’t forgotten about you, sorry about this great delay.
Greyface: Thanks, I’ll give it a read. :)

Well no, I’m afraid not. Should they have?
I believe we agreed that $425 is a suitable price.
The miller’s daughter was quiet again for a time as the strange man continued to feed the straw into the wheel, gently bending each yellowed stalk before spinning it to make his work easier.
When she spoke again, it was with guilt in her voice.
“I do hope I am not keeping you from anything … or anyone.” said the maiden.
The strange man glanced down, pursing his lips.
“If I could help, I would in a heartbeat.” The miller’s daughter went on. “It is unfortunate that only one of us is so gifted.”
The corner of the strange man’s mouth quirked up slightly, but he said nothing. After another brief pause, the miller’s daughter spoke again.
“…Enough about me, though.”
His smirk disappeared as he clamped his lips shut. This could not be good.
Come on in…
