directions," Aurora said. Rosie just nodded her head and pointed in the direction of the stranger.
    "You two get back inside and lock the door, do not come out until I tell you," she commanded and made her way towards the back of the house.
    The strange man was standing in profile, toned arms folded over his chest and he was staring at a ladder as if it were a foreign object. Aurora could hear him speaking in hushed tones to himself.  Some kind of psycho , she thought to herself as she made her way closer.
    "Can I help you?" The sound of her voice made the man jump knocking over several lawn rakes in the process.
    She held the hand with the gun behind her.
    "Err ah no, I'm just looking for a rake or a ladder… something." Was his response.
    Aurora took a step back. "Do you know where you are? If so, why are you here?"
    The stranger stood wordless for a moment. It was as if he'd been hit by the dumb truck. She was beginning to wonder if she should call the police.
    "Look buddy, it's obvious that you've got the wrong house so how about you hop back into your car and get the hell out of here. This is private property, now either you leave or I'm calling the police."
    Without meaning to her eyes flickered to where he stood and met his gaze for a moment.
    His eyes were the color of salvia azurea, a blue flowering plant that she'd planted this past spring. The color so vibrant and rich, that she found herself spending hours tending to them in the garden.
    "I'm sorry," he said. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Liam, Liam Hunt I'm here to Volunteer." Aurora stood puzzled. "No, no that can't be right. I'm always notified ahead of time when a new volunteer is to arrive. I worked it out that way with the board of directors. No, there must be some kind of mistake."
    Liam stared intently into her eyes; she was making this very difficult. He wasn’t expecting to find such an attractive woman operating the place. What he pictured was nothing like the woman who stood before him. Soft hazel eyes stared back at him, this exotic, ebony beauty was hiding something behind her back, and he guessed that it wasn’t a bouquet of flowers.
    He held up his hands in defense. "Whoa, now I understand that you have to be cautious but I assure you, I am who I say I am. And if you'll allow me to reach into my pocket I'll show you my driver's license."
    "Fine," she said. "Hand it over."
    She stuck the .22 in the waist band of her shorts before holding out her hand to take the license.
    While looking over it carefully, she took notice of the address. "Newport huh? What brings you here? You slumming?" She said and handed it back to him.
    The tone of her voice told him that this was a woman who was all business and had every intention of not only protecting her property but the women that were inside of it as well.
    "Look Miss Collins I'm just here to help that's all."
    "How did you know my name?"
    "Well I make it a point to know who I need to report to when I volunteer Miss Collins. Now you've seen my driver's license, and I've no doubt that you took down my license plate while you were blocking me in so let’s say we start over and you can tell me what you want me to do."
    "I don’t know you Mr. Hunt and I don’t know anything about you."
    Liam took a step closer. "Would you like to get to know me?" He asked.
    Aurora stepped closer as well. "No," she practically roared and turned to walk away.
    "Now please leave!" She shouted over her shoulder.
    Liam stood still for a moment, he'd never been given the brush off before and he was not used to getting it now. All he wanted to do was volunteer at the place where he'd made it a point to contribute generously each and every month. He had no doubt that had he told Miss Collins that he was her number one contributor that she would have had a change of heart, but he preferred to remain anonymous for a reason. He didn’t want any special treatment; he simply wanted to do good.
    He'd been meaning to come out
