A Good Plucking

"So I was running my stall at the local farmers market as usual, and I saw this girl who comes fairly regularly, and over she wanders to take a look at my stall, which was full of seasonal fruit, mainly strawberries and a few early cherries. She smiles, and we chat, and she says how much she loves strawberries, and I tell her I plucked them myself this morning. She responded, that she'd "love to pluck with me" and I tell her she should come to the farm sometime. As I'm packing up later, she comes back over and I asked her if she wanted some more strawberries? She said, she did, but are we able pick them fresh, and if she came back to the farm with me now, would we be able to pluck? I was like, okay ... is this mean what I think it means ... or does she want strawberries? But she's kinda hot, and the farm is empty today, so why not. I'm pleased to say she did get her strawberries, but only after I'd give her a good plucking.
