Another hour later, I’m walking up to the camels beside a beaming Lucas. Apparently, one of the staff workers in the petting zoo gave him her number and he’s floating away on cloud nine. I, on the other hand, am sweaty and irritable from having to be Lucas’s social buffer all day long.

As we approach the camels, a small group of people fills a platform to my right. When I spot Jamie and Les talking to a worker, I step closer. Jamie keeps nodding at the worker, while Les rubs his hands together like a man with an evil plan. If his shiny face wasn’t exuding boyish excitement right now, I might be a little worried.

After the worker finishes speaking, he steps toward Jamie and helps her into a saddle on the camel’s back.

What? Is she really going to…

I quickly glance around and find a sign that reads Camel Rides, $10. When I look back, Jamie’s already seated on the camel and Les is planted behind her looking happier than a kid at an amusement park. Jamie’s face, however, doesn’t hold the same excitement. In fact, she looks terrified. Her white knuckles grip the saddle horn in front of her, her body stick straight.

I step up to the railing that separates onlookers from the camel corral and whistle to get her attention. She immediately turns her head my way. I wave, offering her an encouraging thumbs-up. Her responding smile is apprehensive and she doesn’t wave back.

Even though she clearly doesn’t seem to be enjoying this ride, the worker at least appears capable.

As the camel makes a turn around the paddock, Les waves an arm up in the air like he’s riding a bull. Something about the way he moves must disrupt the camel because it stumbles to one knee, forcing Jamie and Les to lurch forward.

On instinct, I jump the fence and start toward them, but quickly get detained by another park worker who I didn’t see standing off to the side. All I can spare him is a brief glance. I know he’s probably telling me to keep a safe distance from the animals, but that’s not easy when Jamie needs me.

I helplessly watch as their worker frantically tries to right the camel, but the animal struggles to remain upright. By some miracle, Jamie’s rigid body remains in the seat, even though Les is pressed up against her from behind, arms caging her in.

I can’t make out her expression from this far away, but I imagine this situation is doing a number on her anxiety. I struggle against the park worker’s hold, wishing I could be by Jamie’s side to help. When the man detaining me seems
