Kicking Horses and The Triggers, played for Penny's meet my friends-do. I put it that way because it turned out to be more than just her parents meeting Tony and Steve. It was one of the biggest rodeo-barbecue-shindigs the ranch had ever had. Rhett Miller was even there. The bands showed up a day ahead of time, no problem. Claudia's minor crush on guitar member Jamie Asher turned into love , for her. Jamie discovering that the stray kitten he had become attached to was actually Claudia, realized that was the reason her eyes and movements has held him fixed on her over the last few days. His phobia had caused nightmares and his worst nightmare had been realized. He ran to escape it. He continued with the Band on tour, his Ceritan phobia spreading to include all cats. When he walked down the street or performed he could tell the cats from the humans. The cats had her face, for him at least. He could not escape it. She watched him through their eyes and she knew everything about him. Everything he did or thought, she knew. It terrified him. After a month of this his mind wrapped its self around another idea . If she was always here for him then he had always to be with her, in her mind. If she could look out of all those eyes, then certainly he could look in at her. He started his plan of attack : Faze 1 was ignore all cats. Pretend they didn't exist. It was hard at first, then in the second week he started noticing changes in their behavior. After that he was right back where he started. Stage 2 Change in strategy, he would ignore and try to forget them altogether. It was amazing what his mind could do, totally amazing. Stage 3 Took over one day when he noticed this beautiful woman. Her hair was the lightest of browns and it matched the color of her eyes. The eyes were open like those of a deer. Lips were full. Eyes you could trust and he locked his eyes with hers.
