When the woman standing near a large tree finally spoke, her voice sounded awfully kind and not at all like the witch from Snow White, and immediately Dallas relaxed: he could trust her.
Having never been given a reason to doubt anyone--especially those who wandered dark orchards at night, Dallas pressed on with a calmer gait, his facial expressions settling down in his usual dopey demeanor.
“Hey.” He greeted back with a soft smile, squinting in the poor lighting to see the dark phone being waved at him.
This stranger was lost too, and what a sorry coincidence for the both of them. Dallas without hesitating, retrieved his cellular device to show off his baby animal-themed background.
“You're meeting people out here? It's awfully dark. Uh.Yeah, but I'm not sure if you'll get much of a signal--” Yet, when Dallas was close enough, he still handed his phone over to the lady in a natural need to be helpful.
On the bright side, at least they were lost together, and company always made Dallas feel better.
