"I'm glad you two are talking honestly. I kinda, eh, what's the word hon?" My mom said. I knew what she was wanting to say already. "Ship mom?" "Yeah yeah. I kinda ship you guys." "Mom!" "I'm just saying sweetie. Just saying." "Mom. We're only 15. That's a little too young to ship us don't you think? When you ship you see us as long-term ya know? Ship is a strong word. To me anyways." "Katie. I had a boyfriend at your age. We were best friends for 4 years. Nothing happened to our 'best friend' relationship besides the fact that we started dating. He was very nice. We would've stayed together but life got in the way. He decided to go to college. I stayed and found me a job with horses. He's married now." "Oh wow mom. That's crazy. I would hate for that to happen but everything happens for a reason, huh?" "Sure does. I wouldn't have you right now. I'm glad I have someone to come to after work. You're the only thing keeping me sane these days. I don't know what I'd do without you."

We drove up to Rita's. It was the cute little local cafe. I had just gotten my splint taken off. What a relief. It was a tad bit sore but it was a lot more better. We went inside and sat with Sam and Clara. He still had a week left on his splint. I'm sure he'll feel as relieved as I am to have it taken off. There we were. Sharing a quick smile. We knew what happened. We really weren't ignoring it. How could we? Why would we? Sam had a look on his face when he smiled of a 'bad boy'. That sly smile. I liked that.

We were halfway through lunch. We hadn't flirted or nothing. Seems he knew he caught me with that smile. 20 minutes passed and it was time to go. We went and walked to the creek right down from Rita's. Just him and I. "Sam. There's no hiding what happened." I say as I go give him a long hug. No one can see us. We're behind a big tree now. "I know... Did you feel what I felt? Did you feel a connection?" He says in a whispery, cracky voice. "Yes. Yes I did." I said in a whispering voice. I go to give him a kiss. I felt something grip my arm. "Hey baby..."
