Noah tugged off his glove and wrapped his hand around hers. She had a small, slim hand, but a good grip. "I'm Noah. Yes, Biblical references in a place called Rain City--I've most likely heard them all. It's nice to meet you, Kathy."
He released her hand and knelt down, pulling on his glove again to help her weed. "I'm frequently out with environmental groups, but I don't think I've seen you before."
