Space Oddity

[Enoch Rosier]

Infectious enthusiasm was not normally a disease Enoch contracted easily, and he momentarily considered the possibility that the tent held some kind of charm that forced people to behave in a frivolous way, but nevertheless it did not stop him from leaping into the air upon her count. Perhaps it was some sort of charm that made him obey her whims?

No that was impossible. If such a charm existed then surely every woman in the land would be scrambling over each other to acquire it and unless they had the ability to keep such a secret – which Enoch had never known a single woman to do – then he would surely know of it!

“Careful Miss Pendergast,” he called out in concern as she bounced into him and he caught her instinctively. She was really quite pretty up close and her mother was…well, Enoch certainly knew who she was even if she did not know him.

“I do believe the moon has lifted your mood just as much as your feet.”
