Taking her hand, alked to the truck Lauren ju my way over to the driver’s side of my truck, I jumped in, started my truck and hit play on , I reached over and turned it up Taking Lauren’s hand in mine, I made a plan to make sure ht Pulling out onto the street I turned and headed to our spot

MY HEART WAS still beating like crazy as Colt drove tohat I thought was his fa as I atteht of the water tower, the stars in the sky, Colt holding me in his arms as we just talked endlessly

Colt pulled down his driveway and waited for the gate to open I watched as the giant black-iron gate opened The words Mathews Cattle Ranch stood out in bold letters Glancing over to Colt, I asked, "Where are we going? To your house?"

S to our spot"

Pulling my head back in surprise, I asked, "Our spot? We have aspot?"

Tossing his head back, Colt let out a ru the front, I desperately tried to think of where in the hell our spot would be We had a spot? I don’t re on my lip, I turned back to Colt "We have a spot?"

Colt turned down one of the older dirt roads This road ran behind the main barn of the ranch, just down fro all around, I tried like hell to reirlfriend in the world Placing my thumb in my mouth, I chewed onht occurred to me and I snapped my head over and looked at Colt

That bastard He’s probably thinking of Rachel! It’s probably their spot Not our spot Slowly facing the front, I foldedhi coirls this one

Sitting in the passenger seat, I began to plot ive him a blowjob and accidentally sneeze and bite downjust a little I bet that would hurt Maybe my foot would make contact with his ballsbyattention at all to where Colt was going, I didn’t even notice when he stopped driving

"We’re here"

Hu one inch

"I know it’s dark, but do you re in this very spot ere six years old, Lauren?"

Blowing out a fast breath, I blew a blonde curl from my eye "No"

Wait What? Six years old?

Looking out the , I letin a breath, I opened the truck door and jumped out My hands came up to my mouth as I walked over to the tree The tree that held the treehouse Gunner made for all of us I hadn’t been here in years Truth be told, I had forgotten all about it

Stopping just short of the tree, I looked up It looked like it was in perfect condition Like the years hadn’t even touched it at all It stood only a few feet off the ground, but when I was six, it see my eyes, my mind drifted back to that fall day

"COLT, YOU WATCH Lauren and make sure she doesn’t fall," Momma yelled out Colt turned and smiled "I won’t, Aunt Jessie! Promise!"

Colt tookaround, I started ju, too! "Yes! And Luke’s and Grace’s and Libby’s and Will’s and an and Taylor, too!"

Letting out a screaed Colt "I can’t wait to show the and spun around

Colt stopped"Or, we could tell my momma and daddy and yourso hard my cheeks hurt, I nodded my head "Yeah! Our special spot forever, Colt You can evenany my shoulders, I scrunched upback at Colt, I nodded onnamy hand on my hip, I took my other hand and pointed at Colt Like Moood "You hear me? If you do, I’ll beat you up ‘cause I ain’t afraid of you"
