in the nation’s capital. ere, she will truly blossom into the woman she is destined
to be. She can’t wait to start her journey.
On her way home one night, her car runs out of gas. Stranded, she walks the short
distance to a local filling station. En route, she encounters Billy Weston, a local
boy who has admired her from afar for a while. Just sixteen and still in high school,
Billy lacked the courage to talk to Paris before. But now that he has a chance to be
her hero, he digs deep to find his bravery.
For Billy, it is love at first sight. Paris may be slightly older, but Billy slightly is wiser; and he

Both know that their budding love is a problem and Paris resists becoming involved with him.
