Lunch With The Mayor

Braelyn loaded all the food she had bought into the back of the wagon and checked on Nova, the tiger was sitting, very alert, in the back of the wagon.

“Good girl Nova.” Braelyn said. “I’ve got something for you.” She pulled the toy closer and wiggled it in front of the tiger. “Want to play?”

She had captured Nova’s attention. The tiger followed the movement of the doll intently. She tossed it light toward the tiger, Nova caught it almost immediately. Once Nova had the tiger in her maw, she began to shake her head back and forth, growling slightly. Tossing the tiger into the air and catching it again, Nova seemed to be playing a game of one tiger catch. All in all, it looked like Nova enjoyed her present.

A few moments later Ethan joined her at the wagon.

“Did you get what you needed?” She asked him.

“Yes, I just forgot something, that’s all. Should we join the mayor for lunch now?” He said, as he put his new items in the back of the wagon.
