A playground on Bryce Road

[Widow]

Hannah was getting irritated. He was late, and that meant one of two things. He wasn't going to turn up, or he was just late. She took a seat on a swing and looked around the park. From here she had a view of the main entrance on the road she had directed Bryan to. 'Where is he...' She glanced down at her watch, 9.15am. Hannah went to look across the playground one last time, and smirked when she saw him appear from around a building. Part of her was excited to see him arrive, but she knew he could be nothing more then a means of information. She had lied to him too much already, and he was a smuggler. After she gave up reasoning with herself, she lent down, and picked up her bag pretending to be trying to find something in it. She knew her choice of seating could be seen as a skill, so she acted as if she hadn't noticed him. "I know it's only been one night, but I missed you. It's good to see you again" Hannah looked up at him, closing the bag. Noticing the notches on his boots, the color and cut of his pants, and the leather jacket he had been wearing the night before. 'A well dressed smuggler.'

"See that duck over there, do you think she ever misses her babies? I mean, every year she has some, and every year they leave."

Hannah shrugged before asking him if he found the park all right. It was further out of the way then most of the places she could have chosen. A good hours walk away from her home. She had to be sure she wasn't going to put herself in a place where he would find her shed. Hannah realised she was rather under-dressed next to Bryan, a white singlet top, with torn denim shorts. Oh well, at least I'm comfortable.. She wondered whether he was a smoker, as she realised she wanted a cigarette. She decided she would wait and see if he was before she took them out of her bag. Looking up at Bryan, she motioned for him to sit on the swing next to her, grinning as she spoke.

"So.. You never got a chance to answer my question in the bar..."
