Phoenix Maplewood Once in a while

Thoughts were harmless until you gave them a name. And Apple froze the moment she spotted the silver-pelted wolf figure weaving through the forest and coming in her direction. It was difficult to tell the looks from the distance she was and yet, when half of your kids sport a silvery gray coat, and most of the male portion of them had been of tall and strong build, you can easily make a mistake. Add to this the fact that she had just thought of her long-lost and constantly complaining son, and you may understand, why the Blackthorn matron was alarmed. 

However, the closer the man came, the clearer it was that he bore no resemblence to Jolly or any other of her family members. Not a particularly handsome chap in her eyes, but a lady her age could not be too picky about who showed her attention, could she. Therefore she looked him up and down and said in a friendly voice: "And why are you staring at me like that? You do realize, that if you want to court someone, you at least give a name and a brief description of, who you are, to impress the lady."
