Paula’s POV

I can’t believe the summer is half over already. This has definitely been a summer to remember. Thinking about it, Spencer came out and is now dating Ashley. My marriage to Arthur is over. I signed the papers yesterday. The tip of the iceberg was Spencer being kidnaped.  My heart is not going to be able to take much more drama, that’s for sure. 

Sighing and running my hands through my hair, I whispered to myself “Glen’s leaving for college at the end of summer too.”

I’m not sure Spencer and I could run this ranch without any more help.  I guess when it gets closer; I will probably have to hire someone to help.  Another thought coming to mind, what am I going to do when Spencer leaves for college, I’ll be all alone. Stop thinking like this Paula! I’m getting way ahead of myself. I have a whole year to figure out the rest of my life.

Shaking my head at my own thoughts, I make my way back inside to get everyone started on the list of tasks we have to complete before everyone gets here today.

“Everyone listen up!” I look around the room before continuing. “We have a lot to do today. First, we need to get our normal chores out of the way. Then we need to get everything setup for your parents.” Clapping my hands together “let’s get moving!”

Spencer’s POV

“PARENT’S DAY!” I scream out inside my head.  God I hate today. Not only do I have to deal with strange people, I’m meeting Ashley’s mom today.  I’m so nervous. Let’s just hope I’m not gonna make a fool of myself. Not to mention, we need to get her mom to sign a form, so she can go to my barrel competition with me next weekend.

Instead of dwelling on everything, I head over to the stable where Thunder is.

“Hey boy.” I rub his soft silky muzzle. “How are you feeling today?” He answers me with a soft grunt. “Yeah, I’m nervous too, but we’ll do great. Like we always do.” I place a quick kiss on his nose, and then make my way back to the others setting up the tables and such.
