It is six months since graduation and college is going fine for Sara. She decided on a college close to home for awhile. Zeb is hard at work at the station and is in the middle of stocking shelves when the buzzer above the door goes off and Janet is standing in the station. She tells Zeb that she needs help with something and could he come by her house after work so she could clear something up. He says no problem and she leaves. Later after work, Zeb is at Janet's apartment and she is in tears, he asks her what is wrong, and she tells him everythings ruined, how she can't get anything right and how Sara is counting on her, and Zeb says, "we

It is three months later and Zeb is getting ready for graduation. He is done taking his shower and dressing and he heads out to the kitchen. Molly is standing at the stove humming a tune. She turns to see Zeb crossing the kitchen to the table. She says, "why, don't you look handsome this morning, got an important date?" Zeb smiles and says, "I sure do, mam, and I would like you to be my escort." Molly says, "sorry, handsome, I am spoken for." Molly smiles and reminds Zeb that John is going to escort her and the children to his graduation that morning. Zeb says, "oh right, I remember, and I will meet Sara there, then we are all going to the re

Later that night, when Molly and John are on the dance floor, she asks him why someone so handsome and seemingly easy going is single. He looks at her and says,"maybe I was waiting for you." Molly blushes and says,"slow down, buster, I haven't had that much wine yet." John takes her for another spin around the dance floor and then they make their way back to the table. Candlelight is flickering and the music is great and the food is delicious. Molly keeps saying over and over in her head, "pinch me, please, I am dreaming." Zeb is at home with the kids and they are watching movies. Sara has stopped by and offered to "help" Zeb with the kids.

Zeb is hard at work at the station the next day and the phone rings and it is the old man. He tells Zeb that he will be coming back in a day or two, and Zeb says he can't wait to see him. He hangs up the phone and starts working on his homework. It is 3 months to graduation and he has got all sorts of things on his mind. A few hours later Sara's driver pulls up outside the station and is eager to talk to Zeb to see what his mom said. Zeb says, " hello, can I ask your name?" He smiles and says, "of course, I am sorry, my name is John, and your mom's name is Molly, isn't it?" Zeb says yes and that she said it would be fine to call her and he wr

 It is later in the evening and Sara tells Zeb that she doesn't want to go home and since there is another two hours of the dance left they should leave and go to the lake. Zeb says that sounds like a good idea if they don't get caught by someone who would tell her parents. Sara says that he worries too much as she grabs his hand and leads him outside to his truck. Zeb is looking at Sara sitting behind the wheel and says, "what are you doing, nobody drives my truck but me." Sara says," I want to drive to the lake." Zeb says, "you don't even have your license, so what if something happens?" Sara says, "there you go worrying again, are you goin

It is a couple of days later and Sara and Zeb are inseperable. He still runs the station and works on his homework and she still stops by there everyday to talk to him and see him. She says,"Zeb, I need to talk to you after work, can you meet me at the park on "our" bench?" Zeb says, "of course, Sara, anything for you, you know that." She says okay until then. Zeb is wondering what is going on that she can't tell him now, but he won't let his mind get the best of him, by thinking the worst everytime something happens. Zeb is at the station and Sara's driver pulls up and steps out of the car. Zeb has seen him quite a bit, but never has spoken

 It is the night of the hayride dance and Zeb is nervous. He shut the station down early, like the old man asked, and came home so he could get in the shower and get ready to pick up Sara. Zeb's brothers and sisters are all happy for him and they are questioning him as to where he is going and how long he will be gone and if he really is going to dance and on and on. Finally, Zeb tells them all to sit on the couch and chair so he can talk to them. They all sit down and Zeb says,"mom, come in here please." His mom comes in and says, "are you ready, young man?" Zeb turns the stereo on and finds some music and starts dancing in the living room

Zeb is at work at the station and the phone rings. It is the old man, he says he has to stay longer. He tells Zeb that his sister fell and broke her hip and cannot get around so he needs to stay with her and he asks if Zeb can look after the place a little longer for him and of course, Zeb says yes. The old man says that the night of the hay ride dance, he would like Zeb to lock the place up early so there won't be any vandalizing going on. Zeb says, okay, no problem, you do what you need to do there and I will take care of things here. Sara walks in the door of the station and asks Zeb how he is doing. Zeb says he is fine and tells her he n
