Hunter pulls along a pink roller-bag. CHLOE, 16, the surfer and softball player in the photos, in running shoes and sporty-fashionable tracksuit, her hair in a tail out the back of her ballcap with an embroidered C above the bill. Her jungle-camouflage backpack hangs from a broad shoulder.  

C: And I was nervous about meeting Jackie.

H: Well Jackie's nervous about meeting you. 

C: Horse day still on?

H: She'll be by around ten. 

C: What's he driving.

H: An old pickup.
