"Jake,"! Maxine called "Its almost time for Sam's Welcome Home party." Jake came down stairs wondering how Sam was going to feel about his new girlfriend Jessie. Sam had been his first crush and love , but she had left and barely contacted him and kept him updated about college and her. He loved her long auburn hair and beautiful green eyes. "No Jessie is my girlfriend and I cant let Sam into my head," Jake thought."Ok mom I'm coming." Jake got up from his desk and walked down the steps jumping the last two. He was 26 now and still living with his parents he hoped to take over Three Ponies Ranch or buy one of his own someday. All of his brothers were moved out and either in college or had families of their own."Jake go ahead over to River Bend and take these desserts," Maxine said. Jake grabbed the pies and walked out the door. When he got to his blue truck he had had since he was 17 he put the pies in the passengers side and cranked it up . He pulled out and 30 minutes later he pulled into River Bend. The party was gonna start at 6 the time Sam had called Wyatt and told them she would be here. He got out of the truck and waked to the door and knocked. "Come In," Grace, Sam's grandmother called. He walked in and she turned around. "Oh hey Jake didn't expect ya so early ", she said. "Yea mom said to bring the desserts so here I am ". "Here set them right here andgo on and set up the tables out side." "Yes ma'am." Jake walked out and set up the tables in front of the barn so Sam couldn't see it when she got here. After he got done setting the tables up, everyone stared showing up with a bunch of food all of the smells made Jake's mouth water."Yum!". He went to help the Kenworthys put up their horses. Jen graduated this year but got back a little earlier that day so she was here, HECK about the whole county of Darton was there to welcome her back ." Well she is gonna have an awesome time seeing everyone," he thought. A couple minutes late Jessie pulled in and got out . He walked up to her and kissed her. "Hey didn't think you would come." Yea right and miss meeting this girl you had all your adventures with that you talk about all the time," She laughed. He kissed her again and took her to meet everyone.
