So Ranger showed up like he said he would. He was still interested in what his babe was up to this time.
He showed up right on time like they wanted him to arrive. So he rang the doorbell.
It didn't take him long enough to wait until someone opened up and let him in. Joe was the one who let him in this time.
"Hello, Joe."
"Hello to you also, Ranger. Why don't you come in and help yourself to a seat?"
Joe closed the door when he walked in his house.
"Thank you for inviting me tonight. Do you have any salad for me to eat tonight?"
"No, I do not. I have kiwi, bananas, tomatoes, and carrots. You can probably make it into a fruit salad."
"That's not a bad idea. Maybe I will do that. It's something easy."
Ranger didn't see Stephanie at all.
"Where's Stephanie?"
"Paying a visit to Lula. She said she should be home shortly."
"I was a bit surprised when I ran into you two at the store. I have never seen that until now. Have you two ever done that before?"
Joe shook his head.
"This is the first time that's happened, so it was something new."
"So I noticed. Did she tell her folks about that?"
"No," was the answer.
"Do you want to tell me or do I have to be surprised?"
"Surprise is the better word."
"Fine with me. I think I will just sit down for a while. I can help myself to a glass of water while I am waiting."
"You're the guest. Let me do it."
Ranger didn't bother to say anything this time.
He kept on trying how to guess what Stephanie has been doing, but so far he hasn't come up with anything. Just be surprised instead, he told himself.
Note: Sorry if this chapter was a bit short, but that's how it was written. Enjoy
