A Welcome Interruption
Retirement suited well until ennui returned. Apiary fascination
thinned. Cocaine beckoned. Still, replenishing the hive was a concern,
and so he continued his task. He was certainly not expecting any
interruption, and when one did occur, he failed even to deduce his, that
is, her proper gender, to his unexpected amusement. As he
required more data, he extended an invitation.
Absorbed in a book, she didn't see the man until she was practically
atop him. How dare he disrupt her solitude! Amazing how unlike the
Legend he should be. And yet he was. Accepting his hospitality, she
followed his lead.
