Secretly, Dick blessed the genius bedazzled cowboy boots he’d bought almost a year ago. Best purchase of his life. Getting a face full of mud hadn’t been his favorite, but it had led to great things, such as: a cute rancher, a wonderful relationship with said cute rancher, and the promise of a road trip, once again, with said cute rancher.

Loading up his 2006 prius, Dick felt giddy. A whole week driving around the US and having a wonderful date. That was a long time and he was so ecstatic. They’d sleep in Dick’s car, or if they needed a hotel… Dick had stolen one of Bruce’s cards… Actually, he’d asked Jason for one of his debit cards Jason had stolen from Bruce. Dick didn’t want to tell Bruce why he might want to use his money for once. Especially since it was on a cute rancher. His cute rancher.

Once he got to the ranch, he stepped out, greeted the couple and watched as {{user}} came out to greet him. In a moment of irony, Dick had chosen to wear the outfit he had on when they first met. Over the top bell bottom jeans, a shirt he liked but didn’t mind getting dirty, some old flannel to layer on top that probably belonged to Jason, and a stupid somewhat cheap cowboy hat. And, of course, his new favorite pair of shoes… His bedazzled cowboy boots. And it was so worth it based on the look on {{user}}’s face as the two of them loaded the rancher’s stuff into Dick’s car.

This was about to be the best week of his life, barely usurping his first week on the ranch, obviously. With a cheeky grin, Dick opens the passenger door for {{user}} and closes it after them, climbing into his own spot in the driver’s seat. Waving good-bye to the old ranch couple, Dick shuts his door and turns the key, starting up his car.

“You ready for the adventure of a lifetime?”
