This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
She’d only given in because she was lonely. Betty donned her hiking boots, grabbed her coat and backpack and grudgingly joined Joe on the trail. This camping trip was supposed to be cathartic, but so far it was one big bore. There weren’t even s’mores at the nightly campfires. She liked Joe okay but he was too quiet. Once the two were away from the camp a couple of miles, Joe said let’s take a break. Sitting on the cliff edge, he admitted he just wanted to talk. He told Betty about his home life and she was surprised to think how much it mirrored her own. They spent longer than they thought just talking and when they returned it was supper time. Betty knew she had made a new friend and that the camping trip was worth it. However, still no s’mores!
