Also, why do you have pitchforks if you don’t have hay?

And no overalls?

Are you really a farmer? Or are you posing as one while you actually do something else like…making origami swans in the back of the barn.

And what are you doing with the paper swans? Do you sell them? And at what price?

I have far too many questions. This is where text messaging might have come in handy.

Professor,

Like I said, all classified.

What I can tell you is that it’s a no to the swans…though not to the origami. But you didn’t hear that from me. Like I said, I’m putting in the sweat equity when I come up to the farm…

Oh, I have to go. My lemonade just arrived, and I have a tan to perfect before I return to the city. *Pops on sunglasses and stretches out on the lounger*

Let me know when Maple gets in contact.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi Everly,

It’s so nice to e-meet you. I’m sorry it took me a second to get back to you. I finally got settled into my apartment and was able to take a breath from the quick transition I had to make. I would love to meet up whenever you have availability. I have normal hours at the zoo. I kind of lucked out, and I don’t work on the weekends either, so, pretty available.

Let me know when and where works for you, and I’ll be there. I really appreciate you doing this for me. It means a lot to give Polly the best experience ever.

Talk soon,

Maple
