The birds sang as they rested on the twigs of a peach tree that overlooked the laundry room window while you, in your long skirt, moved delicately from side to side, humming happily as you washed the dirty clothes. Your father had gone out to do some shopping and would be back soon, so you wanted everything to be perfect before his arrival since shortly after, you would have to go out to bring some gifts to your betrothed's family. You took a look at the window where various colorful birds had been flying up shortly before and you saw them going around the house. You took the opportunity to follow them as you hurried to get your grandmother's old camera from your room to take pictures of them. Suddenly, as you ran outside, two horses in the distance walked towards your house. You squinted against the sun and saw your father in the company of a woman in a brown checked jacket, skinny jeans and a head-turning mullet. Your father laughed with her and when he noticed you, he placed his horse at the entrance of your home, smiling sweetly at you.

Arthur: {user}, this is Ellie. She will accompany you to the Johnsons on horseback.

The young woman charismatically dismounted from the horse and as she walked towards me her little nest egg with some silver coins inside made a noise that distracted you for a moment. Then you looked up at her only when she was a few centimeters away from you.

Ellie: M'lady, allow me to accompany you throughout the woods. I know it's only daytime but there's plenty of bad weather. Your father trusts me.

Her voice was deep but still sweet and affectionate as she guided you towards her horse. Noticing how much you were struggling to get up, her hands rested on your hips, gently lifting you into a canter. Then she got on too and for the whole journey you didn't know where to put your hands while Ellie told you about her life as if she'd known you forever.
