Seeing Stars

Was Jill flirting, teasing or serious when she asked him, "My dad says that sometimes the caddies are smarter than the players, do you think it could it work that way for grooms?


Jim had the lead shank, controlling the pulling horse and the video camera falling off his shoulder and the towel he was trying to use to clean the beast a little... and, though Jill was just spectating - not officially working, she offered to help "do you want me to hold something?"

"Me" he said, making her laugh and then handing over the horse...

When they'd walked over to the ring together he said he was glad the pizza took so long to come last night, because he liked looking at the stars together and getting to know her a little better. She appreciated his flirtations and flushed with the memory of when they'd met at the horse trailer at 6:30 am that morning. She still felt half asleep when he told her she looked nice, and then she'd gasped to see a shooting star like he had suggested she watch for, especially early in the mornings.

"Do I smell romance in the air? her friend, also spectating at the show wanted to know. 


And, Jill admitted that instead of losing boyfriends because they hate playing second fiddle to horsies, "I like the idea of FINDING a beau IN the horseworld -- that way, he'll understand... not to mention lend-a-hand!"
