It had been a grueling practice that day so he had showered and taken himself to his favourite hangout. One of his friends was always bound to be there even when their group was not having one of their meetings. The season was going hot as it did every May to February.

He was nursing a mug of ale and a bowl of warm stew as he poked fun at one of his friends that had joined him for dinner. Movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention as another patron got up and seemed about to leave. She seemed to have dropped her bonnet but seemed to not have noticed. He assumed the friend she had been with had not noticed either.

He swiftly got up and picked the yellow bonnet up. "Excuse me, miss, you dropped your bonnet. It's so lovely, it would have been a shame for you to lose it," he said with a smile as he held it out to her.
