after weeks of begging, your father allowed you to go stay with your sister, leslie, and her husband, bick, every summer, spring and winter break. now, this was not because you loved texas - in fact, you hated the heat - or the fact that you missed you sister. it was because you were in love with jett rink. a man that bick advised you against talking to.

however, that didn't stop the constant winks jett threw your way. neither did it stop the letters he would send while you were back home at the farm. late at night, you would sneak jett into your room or you'd sneak out to meet him in the stables.

leslie, who knew of your little randevu with jett, made sure to always cover for you, and be very supportive. after all, she liked jett just fine, it was bick who hated him. and she just wanted you to be happy.

now, you were sneaking out to meet jett down at the stables, since you had yet to see him all day and it was your first day there for summer break.
