Jocelyn and Keith started work at different times so the pattern they fell into once they established their relationship involved him only staying the night on weekends so they could head straight to the snow cone shack together. Now that his volunteer firefighter training was complete, his three-hour shifts were usually on Saturday mornings but he would still go the shack with her for a while first then come back when he was done.
They didn't get a lot of sales in the morning but that was fine. It gave them more time to just talk with each other.
She always enjoyed talking with him. As she got to know him better, her belief that she could not afford to lose him strengthened. He was everything to her and that was terrifying.
Jocelyn never thought someone would be this important to her. She had spent her whole life either hiding or being rejected. She never thought she would be seen, let alone accepted. But she had been. And by someone so wonderful too!
