barn, fiddling with a piece of mechanics from what looked like a tractor. Not wanting to walk around the farm not knowing exactly where she was gong she decided to ask him.
“Excuse me, Daniel right?” She asked, Daniel lifted his head from what he was doing, and smiled up at Carrie.
“That’s right, how can I help?” Carrie felt a blush rising in her cheeks, now she was directly in front of him she could see just how good looking he actually was.
“I need to find the owner; we’ve got a bit of a problem with the oven, would you know where I could find him?” Daniel chuckled and wiped his dirty hands down his overalls
“You’ve already found him, what’s the problem?”
“Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to seem rude, I just assumed, well you look very young to own a farm” Carrie stumbled over her words, embarrassed at making such an assumption. “My brother, he thinks the elements blown” Daniel nodded and stared directly at Carrie.
“Give me 5 and I will grab a replacement, I’m sure I have some, and I will be straight over to get it fixed”
“Thanks” Carrie replied, turning back to the barn, and walking as quickly as she could. She couldn’t explain why she was acting so silly. She met attractive men every other day in her line of work yet none had made her want to giggle like a school girl.
True to his word, Daniel knocked on the door 5 minutes later. Jason let him in and the two men got to work on the oven, well Daniel did with Jason hovering over his shoulder attempting to help. Carrie sat in a dining chair watching the pair of them and once again found her gaze taking in all of Daniels appearance. He really did seem too young to be the owner of a farm this size and she wondered if maybe he was the owner’s son and maybe it was a family farm.
“All done” Daniel said standing up and turning to look straight at Carrie
“Thank you so much Mr Caine, now Jason can get on and cook my dinner” Anne chuckled and pointed a finger at Jason as she spoke.
“Please call me Daniel, Mrs Warren, no need for the formalities”
“Thank you Daniel, for coming at such short notice” Carrie said wanting to somehow get in on the conversation
“No problem, did you tell your mother about the winter fair this weekend?” He asked his eyes searching Carries face.
“Oh I totally forgot. Mum, Daniel said there was a really good winter fair in town this weekend”
“That sounds lovely” Said Anne smiling at her daughter
“Mr Caine, are you free this weekend? It would be lovely to have someone to show us around if you are available” Carrie could not believe her ears, had her mother really just asked Daniel to come out with her?
“That sounds wonderful; I will see what I can do. Now I better leave you to have your tea now that the oven is all fixed. Have a lovely evening” He walked to the front door and opened it slowly, turning back slightly and his gaze once again fixing on Carrie; her heart felt as if it had stopped in her chest and she was actually glad when he walked out of the door and left.
“Mum why on earth did you invite him along?” Jason questioned, completely lost as to why his mother would invite a stranger with them.
“He seems a nice boy, and I spoke to him a little when we first got here, and he doesn’t get out much it would seem and I thought it would be nice. Plus a local showing us around would be helpful too” Jason shrugged and turned back to the oven to
