      A woman is running a ranch house in Upstate New York. Her name is Sharon “Twim” Morris. All workers are male. Her ranch house has all payroll and employee profiles.

      Sharon decides to take a break and go outside. She is going into town and will take one of her horses. Twim will be getting something to eat.     

       While trying to mount the horse, something happens. Sharon loses her balance and is about to land face first on the asphalt. Fortunately, one of male workers happens to be walking along the way, when he catches her and makes sure Sharon is safely on her feet and is steady, before he keeps going to his assigned work station.

          Sharon walks back to the house, but turns around and sees the employee who helped her never give her a second look. Now Sharon continues her walk to the house and checks everything out.         

         In the house, while she is on the computer, Sharon goes through the logistics and finds her mystery man. She finds out that the employee’s name is Terrance Williamson. He is twenty nine years old. He is ten years younger than her.

         Sharon makes a call to have Terrance brought to the house immediately.

         It takes Terrance five minutes to be at her door.

         Sharon said “Close and lock the door.”. 

Terrance does exactly what he is told and does it .  

         Sharon said “Come sit at the table so I can talk to you.”

Again, Terrance does what he is told and sits at the table across from Sharon.

         Sharon had him lock the door in case certain things were said.    

        Twim makes him a cup of coffee, with milk and sugar . She makes herself one as well. It is so Sharon isn't accused of not taking care of her employees.

       Sitting Sharon said “I know you are the one who saved me.”

        Terrance says nothing to her.

        Sharon said “You know you are considered a hero around here.”.  

        Again, Terrance says nothing.

        “Let me know your price. It will not go past this house.”

        Terrance drinks his coffee and for the third time, doesn't say a word.                      

        Sharon yelled “Don't be a coward! Name your price!”

       This gets a facial expression from Terrance. He finishes his coffee, takes his wallet out, takes a crisp twenty dollar bill out, puts it on the table, gets up, lifts one leg over the chair and walks to the door rather calmly. This leaves Sharon defenseless because she has never met a man like this.

       “Stop!”

Terrance does what he is told.

      Sharon said “Please don't leave. I am sorry. Can you sit down again?”

Terrance comes back and sits, once again. Sharon shows him the paperwork.

      “I am always on guard with everything and this might make me an unapproachable, independent woman, but I never have any help with any of this.”

Sharon expresses this with her hands showing everything in the house.

      Terrance finally says “I can help you with this. You don't have to do it all on your own.”

      Sharon swallows because she doesn't have anyone tell her something like this so honestly. Men are usually intimidated by her. Not this man.

      “I would give you anything you wanted.”

       Terrance gives her a disgusted look.

       “Listen, you don't have to give me anything. As you say, it will not leave this room.”

        Sharon is shocked by this.

        “Do you know how much responsibility it takes for all of this?”

        Terrance replied “Yes, I do. You can count on me to help you with anything. So, that is my promise to you. You will also have no worries about anything I do for you. All credit will go to you.”

        Terrance gets up and starts walking to the door.

        Sharon said “You are my knight in shining armor.”

        Terrance keeps walking. Sharon starts running to him and when she is near him, Terrance turns around. He is face to face with her and she passionately kisses him and he returns the kiss, while she lifts her leg and he holds to show that he has her firmly, without letting go or letting her fall.
