Madeline - Maddy - was cute in that little country girl next door kind of way.
Owen took her hand and shook it, careful not to squeeze too hard but just enough. “Nice to meet you Maddy, I’m Owen. And yeah I did buy this silly old house. And that made us neighbors apparently. You're welcome for that.” He smirked at her, getting the flirting off to a quick start. Owen then gazed behind her up towards the way he knew was the next nearest house figuring it was hers though he couldn’t see it from this far.
“One’s a welcoming squad in a town like this.” He laughed and moved aside to let her in. “Come on in, the party already started.” He said alluding to his earlier foray into his own bottle of alcohol.
“What do you got there?” He put his hand on the bottle as if to take it, but only if she gave it up to him. It had a label that referred back to 1920s rum running. Midnight Runners with a footprint on it. Owen nodded his appreciation.
“You know my family were bootleggers back in the day?” He offered this interesting tidbit as he led the way into the kitchen. “I don’t know much about it really, but my origins are in this here town.” The last three words he playfully said in a drawl that matched hers.
“I’m a southern boy born, but raised in New England. Yale grad.” He preened at her a bit sarcastically, making fun of himself for his Ivy League status.
He stopped in front of a glass-front cabinet and brought down two glasses with a film of dust over them. “My daddy left me some money when he died, so here I am getting in touch with my roots.” He said while rolling his eyes at his own expense knowing how lame it sounded when said out loud. He was awfully chatty and probably due to that minor stint with the lonely house and partly from the alcohol already working in his system.
“So Maddy…” He said handing off a glass he rinsed off in the sink. “What do you think of the owner of this silly old home?” He spread his hands out standing before her like a manikin to be evaluated.
