Will he come again? She looked out from her kitchen's window pane, pondering, wondering. When will he come to visit again? She didn't know his name, nor who he was or where was he from but she liked him from the moment she saw him. It was one morning, just a few months ago, that she saw him there as she was washing her dishes. She wasn't sure what he was doing there but definitely not looking for her because he was facing elsewhere. Her pet rabbit, Scuff was hopping around the garden. He saw Scuff and knelt down to pat her and talked to her. It was really sweet of him to do that, he didn't have to. The next morning, he was there again, standing by the road, looking for her pet rabbit. She wondered why hasn't he looked for her owner. It was okay. She did not mind looking through the window, just looking at him, without him knowing that she was watching. She enjoyed the view. Almost every morning, he would be there. She has not gathered enough courage to talk to him but she also wondered why he hadn't looked for Scuffy's owner. Maybe he spoke rabbit language like how Dr. Dolittle spoke to his animals. She liked how he would feed her rabbit. Sometimes he brought carrots, sometimes lettuce and some days, he would bring Scuffy snacks, pellets which looked store bought. Maybe he had pet rabbits too, that would explain why he got along with Scuffy. One day, she had to go back to her parents' for a few weeks because her father was hospitalized. She brought Scuffy with her and left her home. She spent most of her time taking care of her family when they needed her and was too tired by the end of every night to think of anything else. When everything had settled down and her father, on the road to recovery, she went back to her place. It was all dusty and her plants, mostly dried. She cleaned up her place and fed Scuffy. When she fed Scuffy, she was reminded of the guy. The next morning, she looked out of her window as she washed her dishes and wondered if he would come. But she has been away for so long. She waited and continued to wonder.
