It's a three hour ride, but when he meets another boy who seems to be heading in the same direction...that may not seem like enough time at all.

As Caden and Hunter are well aware, you've got to take your opportunities whenever you can find them. On a random, lazy, weekend afternoon...a new chance to get together pops up.
