Brant started laughing.“Hey, as long as I can sample some chili and pie I’ll be happy.”

“There will also be food vendors everywhere.I’m definitely getting one of Paul’s cheese on a sticks.They’re like a corn dog but instead of a hot dog in the middle, it has ooey, gooey, melted cheddar in the middle.I might eat three, possibly four.”

“That sounds delicious.”

“They are.”

“We can walk around and stuff.If we get tired we can just come back here and hang out until the fireworks start.The best place to see them is Annie and Wyatt’s house.That’s where I usually go.I know they won’t mind if you come.Then we can come back to the dance.Fireworks are usually around ten and the dance starts at eleven and doesn’t end until one.”

“In the morning?”

“At least we can sleep in tomorrow!”

Brant laughed, kissed her on the forehead and drained the rest of the coffee in his mug.“I’m going to get in the shower and then we can go.”

“You’re probably going to be taking a cold one,” she said sheepishly.

“Did you use all the hot water, Freckles?”

“It just felt so good!”

Brant shook his head.“I guess I’ll be ready quicker than I originally thought then.Couple minutes max.”

“I’m sorry!”she called to his retreating back.But she wasn’tthatsorry.If he wanted to make sure he had hot water, he should have taken the first shower.
