With a jingle, the stranger stepped into the patch of light
framed by the barn’s door. The sun glinted off the two tinkling silver stars that stuck off the backs of the stranger's boots. “I’m Peter O’Leary."
“Hallo,”
said Rebekah and Joseph in unison.
She let her
eyes roam over the stranger, who couldn't be much older than Joseph or her, taking no qualms at subtlety. Tufts of
straw-colored hair stuck out from under Peter's black hat, which was cocked over
one eye in a decent attempt at covering a vertical scar that ran through his
eyebrow. His stormy green eyes stared
back at her from his stubbly face, revealing no emotion. He neither smiled nor
frowned.
