“I’ve been looking for you,” Cal says as you walk up to him. “I really wanted to be able to come to the dance with you, but I had to get ready for the Rodeo. Lucy and I are putting on a roping demonstration this year, so we’ve been spending a lot of time together.”
“And how do you feel about each other beyond that?” you ask.
“Oh, we don’t crush on each other, if that’s what you mean. Lucy likes Luke, and I’ve always been sweet on…you.”
You can’t believe it! Cal really likes you!
“I like you too, Cal.” You say. “And I’m finally glad it’s out in the open. Now let’s go out to the Rodeo. I’ll be the one cheering the loudest when you and Lucy are in the ring.”
“Tomorrow, I’ll make sure you and I get partnered up for the trail ride.”
With your heart pounding, you take Cal’s hand and the two of you walk out of the dance hall and down to the rodeo ring. It’s only the second night of Ranger Camp, but you know you’re going to love every minute of it.
