Caleb Longhorn
He wasn’t quite sure how this had all come about – whether it was from one of the girls down the road thanking him for all his help with the animals on their farm or one of his mother’s friends – but someone Caleb had wound up earning himself a date. Not just another chance to idly pretend that hanging out with another boy might lead to a kiss. This was in fact, a blind date, which meant that he’d had no idea what to expect or if he would ever really recover from the embarrassment if this all went south.
But he didn’t mind, really, standing in the heart of town in his corner of the district, dressed in a cozy sweatshirt and flannel with a pair of jeans and his boots freshly shined. He was content on going to grab something small to eat and then running home to tell his sisters about it. They were adamant that he needed something else in his life other than the animals, especially when he seemed so content to grow up so quickly in every other sort of way.
He bounced back and forth on his heels as he leaned back against the wall to the entrance of the little cantina. It was a humble little restaurant that served comfort food. On a brisk night in January, he couldn’t think of a better place to meet a stranger.
