Lou shrugged off his scarf as he walked through the hall connecting the barn to the house, humming cheerfully to himself. He was tired, but he'd done an honest day's work and he was looking forward to seeing Maddie this evening. As he opened the door to the house, he breathed in the smells of a hot supper and smiled. Walking in, he noticed Madeline at the table and beamed at her. "Good evening!" he greeted, tossing his scarf on a chair and then taking her hand to spin her in a little circle. Clearly, he was in a good mood despite his weariness, and it showed in his smile.
