Lou's workday passed quite quickly, with an extra number of customers today coming from the area around Miss Theodosia Strong's inn because of the ball last night. He passed a couple walking into town around noon in his cab who seemed quite enamored by each other to his eye, and he tipped his hat at them as he passed. Kip, who wasn't as young as she once was, walked slower as the day wore on and by seven pm, she could barely muster a trot. Lou drove her home a bit slower than usual, thinking that the chill of last night had worn on her bones, and arrived a few minutes past seven-thirty. He hopped down from the cab and rubbed his hands together to warm them up before unhitching and stalling Kip. He hummed as he worked, wondering how Maddie had spent the day and if she liked it here.
