Jozef closed his ledger and looked out of the window.
Gorgeous sunshine played on the red, brown, and yellow leaves of the aspens and
maples. This might be the last beautiful day of the year, so Jozef decided to
take advantage of it. He shrugged into his light coat, grabbed his hat, and
went out for a walk.
On an impulse, he veered into the large decorative garden of
the estate, watching the sunshine on the last asters, which lit up with their
dusky colors. Ahead of him, he saw a lone figure sitting on one of the benches
lining the path.
As he got closer, he recognized Maja. Good. Maybe this was the chance he’d been
looking for the last two weeks. He stopped in front of her, removed his hat and
bowed. “What a lovely day. Do you mind my sitting with you for a while?”
She gave him a wan smile and nodded.
