We grew up together on a remote cattle ranch in Oregon. Our parents worked the ranch for an absentee owner. Jeri’s mom home schooled us until our se...ior year in high school. Our houses were about a mile apart and we were as close as b*****r and s****r…..closer than most probably. Our schooling took 4 or 5 hours every day, then we had chores to do. We mostly did them together. We did have time for ourselves though….we had a nice spot by a small creek where we could relax in the shade and wade in. Kris takes her to a house in the country looking like a big barn house and tucked her in. In the morning smelling food and much needed coffee she found the kitchen still not awake she didn't even notice Kris had put a night shirt on her. Taking the offered coffee she sat back and tried to remember how she got there. Kris sat the eggs and bacon down and rubbed her arm saying it's ok I took care of you so eat and relax. After eating Kris said your clothes are ruined so it looks like that shirt. One little jog, and I'm practically dying. What the hell?" She grumbled with herself, as she sat down in a chair. She looked around, not finding either Erin or Noah anywhere, and wondered where they could be. "Are you going to drop dead? Or should I come back later?" She heard, and turned around, only to find Erin sitting down across from her. "I should hit you." Jamie just simply said. "Should I pull my shorts down and bend over then?" Erin said, as Jamie glared at her. "Why?" She asked."Why. "I can promise you something better to watch than a whole bunch of suited fascists and a few honest guys. Come with me."Was this how Peter Pan had gotten Wendy into so much trouble? He had the same boyish enthusiasm as the eternal youth, and she stared at him for a long moment, feeling squarer than she had ever imagined."It'll be an adventure," he added.Connie nodded, although her head felt light and she felt dizzy. "All right."His grin broadened. "All right!" he repeated, although it was more.
