Maggie was suddenly excited to see her friend and show her the farm she had grown up on. “For as long as you want me” Ariana spread her arms and spun at the freedom of being here, it had been a hard sell but she had been able to convince them that she wanted a vacation away from the circus and Maggie’s letter had been a godsend. Maggie liked the sound of that and went to the back to fetch Ariana’s suitcases carrying them easily she escorted her to the small farmhouse. Ariana followed curiously wondering what her house would be like, she had talked about her home, how much she missed it, and Ariana, who had never really had a home, had been envious. They went in through a screen door, Ariana grabbing to open it with Maggie carrying the cases and onto an enclosed porch where Maggie put down the cases and sat to remove her rubber boots. “Do you want me to remove my sandals?” Ariana asked showing off her nice leg as she stretched out her foot. “Noooo” Maggie laughed as she pulled off one of the boots and a small cloud of dust came with it.
