Jake shook Raven’s hand like a gentleman. She smiled at him politely, but it wasn’t the same smile she reserved for me.

“I’ve never ridden a four-wheeler before,” she said as she stared at it like it was a wild beast.

“You don’t have to do anything besides hang on,” I assured her, mounting it and offering her my hand.

“Where’s my helmet?” she asked, peeking around to try to find it.

“This is the country, Raven. Have you ever seen someone ride a four-wheeler with a helmet on?” It wasn’t like we would be racing or anything.

She grunted and put her hands on her hips. “I’ve never seen anyone ride a four-wheeler, period. I’d like a helmet, please.”

Even though she said “please,” it wasn’t an actual question, and I knew it.

“I’ll see if Jake can find one around here,” I mumbled, stalking toward the garage.

When I returned, she was sitting on the seat, acting like she was driving. Her body was leaned forward, intense, and ready for any imaginary curve or hill coming her way.

She caught me watching her, but she didn’t act embarrassed. She was getting comfortable with me, which I loved. She smiled and scooted back so I could sit in front of her.

“See if this fits,” I said, tossing her the helmet that belonged to Jake’s sister, Jazmyn, from when she was in junior high. It was pink camouflage—the most anti-Raven thing it could have been.

She tried it on, barely able to adjust the straps enough for it to fit, but she made it work. She had to let her hair down to get the helmet on, the blackness shooting out from under the pink camouflage and resting on her shoulders.

“You look cute,” I said as I kissed her nose. She grinned and moved her head around like she was showing it off.

“I’ll go slow,” I assured her as I climbed on.

“I’m not afraid,” she said. “I want to go fast. That’s why I wanted the helmet.”

When the engine roared to life, she wrapped her arms around me tightly. I took off fast so she would hold on even tighter, and we made our way down the backroads to her house.

She screamed with exhilaration, whooping and laughing like a child.

I wanted to experience everything with her. I wanted to be there for each element of fun she had missed out on just to witness her reaction of pure joy.

If I had gone to the dance without her, it would have been like any other dance. I knew I wouldn’t have been able to remember it if someone asked me about it ten years from now. But going with Raven? Seeing her light up as she spun around in circles, dressed like the queen she is for the first time in her life? I’d never forget it.

How many times had I ridden a four-wheeler and taken it for granted? It was only a mode of transportation for me now. It had stopped being “fun” years ago. But with Raven? I was having the time of my life.
