It was a beautiful day for a ride, the air crisp with the coming of autumn and the skies clear and blue. Penny breathed the air in deeply as she guided her mare out of the forest and into the town. Despite the beautiful weather, Penny's ride wasn't solely for the enjoyment of the clear day, even if it had made a perfect excuse for an excursion. Penny was taking one of her increasingly frequent trips to town to lend books to one of her friends.
When Matt had taken an interest in the Brisbois library, Penny had been only too happy to share. After all, the library was rarely used by anyone but herself and it had seemed a terrible waste. She quickly found she enjoyed the game of it and she would take her time carefully selecting books, hoping to find one her friend would love. What made it even better was that when she went to pick up the books and deliver new ones, he often had interesting things to say about what he had read or the goings on in town. She found herself looking forward to seeing him and learning of his reactions to her selections.
Thus, as she rode into town, there were two new books in Penny's saddlebags. She was certain Matt would enjoy them as they seemed the sort he would like and she had even read through them herself so that they could compare their thoughts, which was an exciting prospect as Penny had rarely discussed books with anyone other than her tutor. With any luck, the shop wouldn't be too busy that afternoon and they would get a chance to talk.
Penny quickly dismounted as she arrived at the shop, hitching Copper before taking out the books and clutching them to herself as she walked into the shop, her gaze hopefully seeing her friend.
