Red carpets, television and magazine reporters. He saw oceans of people, bright flashing lights, working with his idols. In that time, Steve’s mind wondered off and he began to imagine of what his life would look like if he chose the path of his dreams. He walked over and leaned against a tree taking a small break. Just then, they came up to a small creek and Steve jumped off Blue and led him down so he could drink. Jenna, the one person that could help him to make the right choices was busy helping her mother this week with baked goods for the county fair coming up. He knew how disappointed and disproving his father would be over his choice. If he chose to leave Wyoming and become an actor, in his mind, he knew that he would be doing it against his father’s wishes. On the other, he could not bear the thought of not reaching for his dreams. On one hand, he did not want to disappoint his parents and Jenna by telling them that he did not want to stay here and be a rancher. You need to take on more responsibility if you want to be in charge of all this one day, He heard his dad tell him repeatedly However, these last few days proved to be more difficult then he thought. C’mon Steve, your eighteen now, you are an adult. He wanted to take charge and live out his dream. He had never known feelings of love before. The day they met, Jenna made him feel like he was the only one in the world and after that they were inseparable. He laughed out loud picturing all her quirks that drove him crazy but it was the way she gazed into his eyes that made him fall in love with her the minute she talked to him. He could almost bet that she would fold her arms across her chest the second his words leave his lips. Instantly Jenna’s face visualizes in his mind making his heart skip a beat. He knew of at least one who surely would not, and if he was to convince his girlfriend of two years then he had better have some good reasons. So why would anyone want to leave a place of heaven’s perfection. The air always smelled of clean, crisp sweetness. With majestic mountain ranges in the distance, rolling hills, colorful flowered meadows and ice-cold mountain streams. He looked out across the horizon, so peaceful and serene it was.
It gave him a chance to think about decisions that he needed to make about the direction his life was going. As much as he could not bear to live on this ranch for much longer, today he was glad that it was just him riding alone with his best friend. Steve knew if he wanted to get them back safely then he could not over heat his horse, Blue Smoke. With the sun and air being so hot, the risk of dehydration for either of them was high. He picked up the reins giving them a slight tug and made a clicking sound and the horse took off in a slow walk. Steve cinched shut the bags and mounted his horse. And if we leave now we can be back home in thirty minutes and that is after stopping by your favorite watering hole. Well boy, this was the only repair dad told me about. No doubt, his father would be checking later when he came back this way. Steve smiled scratching his ears he took one last look around for any rails that had fallen from the fence. The horse whinnied as if answering his question.
I don’t know about you Blue, but how bout we get out of this sweltering heat. Then removed the cap and took a couple swallows of refreshing cool water from his canteen. He tossed the hammer in the saddlebag, pulled out a handkerchief wiped the dripping sweat from his forehead. It was mid-afternoon on a scorching July day, the temperature burning up from the sun’s fever as Steve pounded the last nail attaching the rail back to the post.
