your car?”
“Yep.”
“Wow, I can’t believe it. I haven’t seen this car around town.” Katie said as she ran the tip of her finger on the side of the car. She knew not to touch it but she honestly couldn’t help it. It was the most beautiful car she had ever seen.
“My dad and I redid this car when I was a kid. We would spend hours in the garage, often so many that it would annoy my mom. There were lots of nights that we were up well into the early morning. It was some of the best times of my childhood,” he said as he opened the door for her.
As Katie climbed in she said, “Thank you.”
Jack handed her the picnic basket and closed the door. He ran around to the other side and got in. As he started the car he couldn’t help but think how pretty Katie looked today. Putting the car in gear he pulled onto the road.
“So where are we going?” Katie asked, still amazed at the car itself. If her parents caught her in a car like this with a boy she would be grounded until she was dead.
“You will have to just wait and see.”
“You haven’t been here very long so it cannot really be someplace that I haven’t already been.”
“Oh so you think that I haven’t found my own places here in this town? I was pretty much invisible until I got arrested. No one seemed to notice that I even existed. So during that time I decided to explore and I found a great place.”
“ Well we have to see if you have managed to find a spot that I have not found yet.”
“Yes we will,” he replied with a knowing smile.
They drove through town and into the country. They went about ten minutes down the road and turned right. They went about a half a mile down the road, when Jack pulled off the side of the road. Katie looked at him with a questioning look.
“This is the place you picked to go?”
“What is so wrong with this place?” he asked.
Looking around she responded “there is nothing here.”
“Yes there is. Right over there is a tree and leading up to that is a field of flowers,” he replied as he got out of the car with a smile on his face.
Katie waited for him to come around to her side of the car. She wasn’t going to be getting out o f the car at all.
He opened the door and Katie just sat there without moving. “Well are you getting out or are you just going to sit there while I have a picnic all by my lonesome?” he asked her with a smile on his face.
“There is nothing here. I am not going to sit in weeds to have a picnic. I cannot believe this is where you picked to have a picnic.”
“I come here when I want to think. Just come with me. You will like it here I promise. Besides you will not be on the weeds, I brought a blanket,” Jack replied with a grin.
Reluctantly Katie got out of the car and stood there looking around. She could not believe he talked her into coming here to a place where there is absolutely nothing. “Well nothing besides a tree and some flowers,” she thought to herself.
Jack grabbed a blanket out of the trunk of the car as Katie stood there looking around. As he started walking into the field Katie followed. When they got to the tree, Jack spread out the blanket. Katie put the picnic basket on the blanket and sat down, still not sure why he brought her out here.
Jack sat down next to her, and smiled. “It is absolutely beautiful here and it is so peaceful. I told you I would take you somewhere you have never been before.”
“What makes you think I have never been here before?”
“Oh I don’t know, maybe it was that look on your face as we pulled up that gave it away,” he replied with a smirk on his face.
“Well your wrong.”
“Oh so you have been out here before?”
Not able to look at him Katie said, “Yes….Okay, no I have not been up here, but why would anyone want to come here. It is just a field and nothing else.”
“For me that is all I need to think.”
“You come here to think?” she asked him. As she began to take things out of
