The Clamor Of The Mountains 2: The Dangerous Tryst

Aganas, the village young man, is unable to forget Lucy. She haunts his waking and his sleeping hours. He can’t stop thinking about her talented hands and warm, skilled tongue. He knows that he should avoid Lucy, being with a girl from town is not only frowned upon, but forbidden. People in his village have been executed for less offense to his people. But try as he might, he just can’t stay away from her. One morning he awakens and makes himself busy. He fetched water from the river and filled all the pots. His ama (father) and ina (mother) were already sipping coffee by the stone hearth. The small village was stirring to life. A rooster crowed and sounds of clucking hens were heard in the distance. His parents remind him that he is to take Lucy on a tour of the village. He knows that this will be just another opportunity for her to try and seduce him. Will he have the strength to resist her?
