Georgina could not believe how fast her stint in the 4-H booth passed. This morning, at the last minute, she went by the clinic and picked up three kittens and two puppies who needed homes, not that she would let them go today. Anyone who wanted to adopt one of the babies could come to the clinic on Monday and fill out the paperwork. The kittens and puppies had been a magnet for children and their parents.

As the end of her time in the booth neared, she ventured another glance across the straw-covered aisle. The firefighters had drawn a large crowd of people as they discussed fire safety and smoke alarms. She couldn’t help but notice the shocking number of young, attractive women who seemed enthralled with everything the firefighters had to say. Georgie would bet her last dollar that half of the women didn’t give a flip about fire safety. They did, however, seem to have an appreciation for the men doing the demonstrations.

What she couldn’t figure out was why some of the firefighters left the booth and came back later with wet hair.

“How’s it going?”

Georgie grinned and pulled Magda Montgomery into a hug. “Man, I have missed you.”

“You too,” Magda said.

“Where’s your hunky husband?”

Magda obviously loved that description of her husband as she beamed when she said, “Over there.” She tilted her head. “He’s talking to Tanner and Zack Marshall. How much longer are you going to be here? Reno has something he has to do for an hour. I was hoping you and I could get out and walk the midway while he’s busy.”

“I’m done,” Georgie said. “I’m waiting for Dr. Brian to come take my place. I’d love to do the midway. There’s so much to see.”

“And so much to eat.”

“Know what I want? A funnel cake. I haven’t eaten one of those in years.”

“Get this. I saw a vendor selling fried butter on my way over here.”

Georgie rolled her eyes. “That doesn’t even sound good, does it?”

Dr. Brian came strolling up the aisle licking a chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream cone. “Howdy,” he said. “How’s the afternoon been?”

“Busy,” Georgie said. “I’m ready to hand it over to you. I’ll be back in an hour or so to get the kittens and puppies to take home.”

“Nah. Don’t worry about them. I’ll take them back to the clinic when I’m done. Any potential adoptions?”

“All of them, I think.”

“Great. Now you two get on out of here and enjoy the fair.”

Magda linked her arm through Georgie’s. “Let’s go.”

“Don’t you need to tell Reno you’re leaving?”

Magda grinned. “Nope. He’s gone.”

Georgie looked toward the fire department booth and sure enough, Reno was gone, as was Tanner…not that she cared if he was there or not.

As soon as they walked outdoors, Georgie’s ears were assaulted with children laughing, people screaming on the roller coaster as it plummeted over the top, parents calling to errant children running down the dirt path, and the barkers trying to lure customers to their games of chance.
