He came back

You were a farm worker, just going on a fun little midnight stroll as you tended to do. You didn't see much; the usual animals and nature, as well as a lost guy freaking out and holding his phone to his face. Oh, no, that last one was NOT a usual. You quickly stopped in your tracks and approached the panicked man. Clearly, he wasn't from around here, wearing an outfit more attuned to the city folk. "Damn it- fuck! Not now! Come on.." He smacked his phone a few times before finally looking up, seeing you approach. "I don't have any change on me." He hissed, waving you away and assuming you were some kind of hobo. Micah pushed up his sunglasses and stared at you for a moment, finally taking a second to look at who he was talking to. A.. cowboy? He didn't know or care. "Also..do you where can I get reception around here? My..stupid car broke down, and I can't call a tow truck." The man mumbled that last part.

Micah chuckles, shaking his head. "Yeah, well, I didn't exactly plan on my car breaking down, did I?" He adjusts his sunglasses and looks around, taking in the farm scenery. "But hey, maybe this is a sign that I should slow down for once." He flashes a smile towards you and continues, "So, do you know anyone who could help me get my car fixed?"

Micah nods gratefully, "Sure, that would be great, Lisa. Thank you." He hands over his keys and watches as you examine the car. "What do you think? Is there anything you can do?"

While you check out the car, Micah takes a moment to observe the farm around him. He's always lived in the city, so he finds the open fields and animals fascinating. "Wow, this place is so different from what I'm used to. Do you work here, Lisa?" he asks with a curious tone.

Micah nods, "Thank you, I appreciate it. Let me know if you need anything." He leans against the car and watches as you work on it, admiring your skills.

"I can tell," he says with a small smile. "You seem so comfortable out here. Do you like working on the farm?"

Micah takes a deep breath of the fresh air around him, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. Being around nature and animals is something he's not used to back in the city, and he finds it refreshing.

Micah leans back against the car, crossing his arms and thinking for a moment. "Well, I play guitar in a band. It's kind of my passion, you know? Music just speaks to me in a way that nothing else does." He looks off into the distance as he thinks about his art.

"Other than that, I like to read and explore new places. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an adventurer," he says with a smirk, wondering what kind of adventures he'll stumble upon now that he's stranded in the countryside.

"I play mostly rock and alternative music," Micah says with a grin. "I've always been drawn to that kind of music, it just feels right to me." He taps his foot on the ground as he thinks about his band and the songs they've created together.

"What about you, Lisa? Do you have any interests or hobbies outside of working on the farm?" he asks, genuinely interested in getting to know her better.

"That sounds like a great way to unwind after working on the farm all day," Micah replies with a nod. "And horses, huh? That's pretty cool. Have you ever gone horseback riding?"

Micah can sense a fiery energy coming off of Lisa, so he treads carefully. He doesn't want to upset her or come across as too aggressive. But at the same time, he can't help but feel attracted to her feistiness and independence.

Micah nods, "Yeah, I've tried it a few times. It's not really my thing, but I can see why it would be enjoyable." He watches as you try to start the engine, hoping that you'll be able to fix the car so he can get back on the road.

"Do you compete or anything?" he asks, attempting to make conversation while waiting for the car to be fixed.

Micah smiles back at Lisa, admiring her enthusiasm as she talks about horseback riding. "That sounds amazing," he says. "I can only imagine how it must feel."

He watches with interest as you continue to work on the car engine, your skilled hands moving quickly and confidently over the parts. Micah can't help but find himself attracted to your strength and determination.

"You know, Lisa, you're pretty talented at fixing cars. Have you ever thought about doing it as a career?" he asks, genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.

Micah nods in understanding. "That makes sense. You have to be pretty self-sufficient out here, I imagine."

He watches as you successfully fix the car engine and start it up, relieved that he'll be able to make it back to civilization. "Thank you so much, Lisa. I really appreciate your help." He hands over a wad of cash as a thank you for your assistance.

"So, back on the road for me. It was nice meeting you," he says, starting to walk away before turning back towards you. "And who knows? Maybe we'll run into each other again someday." He flashes a smile and heads towards his now-fixed car.

Micah nods his head in acceptance of Lisa's kind refusal. "Alright, fair enough," he replies with a smile. "Thanks for the conversation, Lisa. It was nice getting to know you."

He hops into the now-fixed car and waves goodbye before driving off towards town. As he drives away, Micah can't help but think about the captivating farm worker he just met. He wonders if they'll ever see each other again, and looks forward to the possibility.

As time passes, Lisa continues working on the farm and taking care of her animals. She thinks about the city boy she met from time to time, wondering if he made it back home safely and if they'll ever cross paths again.

Days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months. The farm keeps Lisa busy, but she never forgets about the intriguing stranger she met that night.

One day, as she's out tending to the horses, Lisa spots a car driving up towards her farm. As the car gets closer, she squints her eyes to try and get a better look at who's inside. And then, to her surprise, she sees that it's none other than the city boy she met months ago.

He pulls up to the farm, hops out of the car with a guitar in hand and a smile on his face. "Hey there, Lisa," he greets her warmly. "I was passing through town and thought I'd stop by to say hi and maybe play you a song or two."

Micah smiles in response to Lisa's greeting. He walks over to her and leans the guitar against the wall of the barn. "Thanks for letting me stop by. I've been looking forward to seeing you again."

He takes a moment to look around the farm, taking in the sights and sounds of the animals and nature. "Looks like you've been keeping busy. How's everything been going?"
