5 Ways Sarah Cameron Used Rafe To Change Your Mind

For the ladies in the back !! @lovinqbella 🥂🥂

1. Convincing You to Attend a Party

You stood in Sarah’s room, arms crossed, shaking your head. “No way. I’m not going to that party. It’s just going to be a mess of drunk people and bad music.”

Sarah groaned, flopping dramatically onto her bed. “You’re impossible. It’s one party, and everyone’s going to be there.”

“Exactly my point,” you replied, raising an eyebrow.

She glanced at her phone and suddenly smirked. “Fine, don’t go. But you know who is going?”

“I don’t care,” you said quickly, but the way she raised her brows in response made your stomach twist.

“Rafe’s going,” she said, casually scrolling. “And honestly, he doesn’t go to these things that often anymore. Kinda weird, actually.”

You hesitated, looking out her window like you could avoid the conversation altogether. “That’s… irrelevant.”

Sarah grinned. “Is it? Because last time I checked, you two had been getting along pretty well. I’m just saying, he asked if you were coming.”

Before you could respond, her bedroom door creaked open. Rafe leaned against the frame, one hand tucked into the pocket of his hoodie. “You coming or not?”

His blue eyes locked on yours, unreadable, though there was a flicker of something—expectation, maybe—that made your heart skip.

“I haven’t decided,” you said, standing straighter.

Rafe smirked, tilting his head slightly. “Sounds like a yes to me. I’ll see you there.” He turned and walked away, leaving you with a stunned expression and Sarah grinning like she’d won.

2. Persuading You to Go on a Group Hike

“Nope. Not happening,” you said, firmly tying your sneaker and standing up.

Sarah frowned. “Why not? It’ll be fun! Fresh air, great views, all that stuff.”

You gave her a pointed look. “It’s a hike. You know I don’t do bugs, dirt, or sweating unless absolutely necessary.”

Sarah sighed, tapping her phone against her palm thoughtfully. “Well, I guess I’ll just have to tell Rafe you bailed.”

You blinked. “Rafe?”

“Yeah, he’s coming. Said he wanted to get out of the house. Weird, right? Anyway, he’s probably going to make fun of you for being scared of a little exercise, but I’ll tell him you had a good excuse.”

You narrowed your eyes. “I’m not scared. I just don’t see the point.”

Sarah smirked. “Sure. Tell that to him when he asks where you are.”

An hour later, you were trailing behind the group, muttering under your breath about Sarah’s manipulation. Rafe slowed his pace until he was walking beside you, his tanned arm brushing yours.

“Not so bad, right?” he asked, glancing at you with a slight grin.

You huffed. “I wouldn’t call this fun.”

“Guess you just need better company,” he replied, his voice low and teasing.

You shot him a look, but the warmth of his smile made the dirt path seem a little less annoying.

3. Convincing You to Go Paddleboarding

“No, Sarah. I’m not getting on a paddleboard,” you said firmly, eyeing the glistening water of the cove.

Sarah grinned mischievously. “You say that like you’ve tried it before.”

“Because I don’t have to try it to know I’ll fall flat on my face,” you replied, crossing your arms.

“Not if someone’s there to help you balance,” she said casually, glancing behind you. Before you could ask what she meant, a low voice interrupted.

“Scared of water or just bad at sports?”

You turned to see Rafe leaning against the dock post, his hair tousled from the wind and a smirk tugging at his lips. He was shirtless, his tan skin catching the sun, and you suddenly found it difficult to form a response.

“I’m not scared,” you muttered, though your pulse betrayed you.

“Good,” Rafe said, stepping closer. “Because I’m not about to let you drown. Come on, I’ll even hold the board steady for you.”

Sarah nudged you with her elbow. “See? Easy solution.”

Fifteen minutes later, you were wobbling on the board, Rafe’s hands steady on your ankles. “Relax,” he said, his voice low and calm. “You’re overthinking it.”

His eyes met yours briefly, and for a moment, you forgot all about the water beneath you.

4. Persuading You to Go for a Late-Night Drive

“I’m not getting in a car with Rafe,” you said, glaring at Sarah.

“Why not? It’s just a drive,” she replied, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

“You mean with your brother who drives like a maniac?”

Sarah rolled her eyes. “He’s not that bad. Plus, he said he’s going to the lookout, and you love it there.”

You hesitated. The lookout was your favorite spot, but…

Before you could argue further, headlights illuminated the driveway, and Rafe’s truck pulled up. He leaned out the window, his arm resting casually on the doorframe. “You coming or what?”

You glanced at Sarah, who gave you a knowing look, and reluctantly got in.

The drive was surprisingly quiet, the hum of the engine filling the space. When you reached the lookout, the stars seemed impossibly bright.

“You always this stubborn?” Rafe asked, leaning back against the hood of the truck.

“Only when I have a reason to be,” you shot back, but your tone lacked its usual bite.

“Noted,” he said, his gaze lingering on you a moment longer than necessary.

5. Persuading You to Help Fix the Dock

“You’re kidding, right?” you said, staring at the pile of wooden planks and tools. “I don’t know the first thing about fixing a dock.”

Sarah shrugged. “Neither do I, but Rafe does. And he said he could use an extra set of hands.”

“Why don’t you help him then?” you shot back.

“I have other plans,” she said, already backing away. “But you? You’d be perfect for the job.”

Before you could argue, Rafe appeared, carrying a toolbox. He glanced between you and Sarah, his expression unreadable. “You staying to help?”

You sighed. “Apparently.”

He smirked. “Didn’t think you’d be the type to get your hands dirty.”

“I’m full of surprises,” you replied, grabbing a hammer.

As the afternoon wore on, you found yourself laughing more than you expected. Rafe’s sleeves were rolled up, sawdust clinging to his skin, and the way he occasionally glanced at you—like he was trying to figure you out—left you feeling strangely flustered.

When the dock was finally finished, he leaned against a post, watching the sunset. “Not bad for a rookie,” he said, his tone teasing but soft.

You rolled your eyes, but the warmth in his gaze made it hard to argue.

Gruesome Newscum is grilled over his totalitarian actions during the plandemic (1 min, 16 sec): "Governor, why did you shut the beaches in California during Covid?

So you didn't know anything, why did you shut the beaches?

So you didn't let them go in the sunshine and get vitamin D and exercise so you shut the beaches. Ok. And you arrested a guy who was paddleboarding the bay.

Any science behind that? Any science at all behind shutting down outdoor dining? Why did you shut down outdoor dining?

Based on science? You shut down outdoor dining, you canceled businesses. That had nothing to do with science."

Physical benefits of Paddleboarding.

SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) is a low-impact activity that reduces wear and tear on your body. Paddling provides an intense, full body workout. Stand up paddleboarding is excellent for cardiovascular health and an outstanding way to strengthen your core muscles.

Paddleboarding thus becomes an opportunity for meditation, allowing individuals to let go of intrusive thoughts, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. Engaging in regular physical exercise is vital for mental health, and paddleboarding provides an excellent avenue for achieving this

Glacier National Park

Grinnell Glacier, Many Glacier, Glacier National Park

I felt unstoppable today hiking the iconic Grinnell Glacier hike, my watch recorded 40k steps and Gaia recorded 13.6 miles, it was supposed to be 10.6 miles but I chose to hike down to Lake Grinnell at the bottom after hiking up to Upper Grinnell , because the lake looked so beautiful. I didn’t get any blisters but my toes were sore and as soon as we got to the lake I dipped my toes in the water. I felt amazing for hours after. A few hours later I felt the stiffness set in, I had to get ice out of the cooler for my knees because I couldn’t really move. 

7/9/23

Lake MacDonald, West Glacier, Glacier National Park 

We rested our legs and rented kayaks on Lake MacDonald in West Glacier after an early morning drive along Going to the Sun Road. It felt amazing to still explore while resting my sore muscles. I got to exercise my muscles that don’t get used on a hike. We walked the tourist trap shops, lined with Huckleberry jams, syrups, flavored coffees, all claiming to be “fought from the claws of grizzly bears.” They even sold scented tshirts, which did not seem very bear safe in an environment where we needed scent-proof bear bags for our food, lipbalm, sunscreen, a bear lock on our bear proof cooler, and bear spray on us at all times. I bought a Glacier National Park patch, like I do at every national park I’ve done a “deserving” hike at, because it makes me feel like a Girl Scout. I plan to sew them on a denim jacket. I picked the prettiest patch, with mountain goats, lakes, meadows, wildflowers – even though it had mountain goats – one of the few animals I hadn’t seen here yet. The lady at the register told me I can’t wear the patch until I see a mountain goat. I had one day left and knew I had to find one. 

It was brutally hot and sunny, so we went back to Lake MacDonald. There were children paddleboarding, insisting they’d “found a barrel” and they “think it’s full of oil.” The beach wasn’t sandy, it was formed with smooth small rocks. The water was crystal clear and warmed by the afternoon sun. The view of the mountains we kayaked towards hours earlier was directly in front of us as we swam and enjoyed the water, sharing giggles, a child laid face down on the hot rocky beach to “work on his tan.” 

7/10/23

Pitamaken Pass, Two Medicine, Glacier National Park

Pitamaken Pass was the most intensely grueling, gorgeous, and insane hike I’ve ever been on. There was so much exposure on the edge of the mountains, with a narrow trail and talus (loose rock), that tumbles under your feet down the side of the mountain. But it was a TRAIL, so it was still one of the least dangerous mountain hikes I’ve been on, because it’s maintained. There were gorgeous wildflower meadows and these funny white “bear paws” everywhere, they look like giant q-tips and only bloom every 5 years.

The trail changed so much over the 18 miles we hiked, from dense forest, muggy, humid and lush with brush; to trickling rivers with meadows, juniper, bushes, butterflies and red rocks; to walking along the rich blue of Old Man Lake. Then the slog of climbing up 1,000ft over a mile and 3,200 ft of elevation gain total (with a lot of up and down, which makes it feel like you’re never making progress). My brain was throbbing in my skull, rapid pulse, and swaying balance. I thought it must be dehydration or electrolytes, I told Adam I thought I was going to be sick, it was over an hour before I realized we had maxed out our altitude for this trip so far ~8,000ft, after only sleeping at ~5,000ft. So I carried on, tossed some Propel electrolyte mix in my Nalgene and took my shirt off to cool down, all in measures not to pass out, but also kept moving because the sun was beating down. There was no breeze or shade, but I hoped there would be both on the other side of the Pass. It didn’t come as quickly as I needed it, but as a breeze picked up once we got to the top – so did my dizzying headache. Once we got to the Pitamaken overlook on the continental divide, I sat on a slab of marble and ate some trail mix in the shade.

The next 3 miles of the trail looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Our footsteps clashed like we were breaking tiles on the shrapnel of sedimentary rock. The rocks above and around us were flaky and layered like good pastry, but horrifying to walk on as they crumble around you. Beneath us was a steep drop down to the vibrant greens of pine forests, cool alpine lakes and trickling rivers, juxtaposing the crumbling gray and brown rocks we balanced and wobbled on. As I rounded the corner, I saw a scruffy white goat in the distance on top of the pass with mountains behind it. It didn’t look anything like the long-haired, fluffy rocky mountain goat you see in all the Glacier National Park merch, but July is shedding season. I took a picture and 4 more goats appeared and started grazing… on what, I don’t know, since I can’t recall anything growing at that altitude. I finally saw my mountain goat, 5 mountain goats. 

Storm clouds rolled in and it’s dangerous to be above the treeline in a storm. I picked up the pace, but the descent proved to be steeper and looser – it’s tricky to get traction on loose sand. The next few miles were a blur, a race against a storm. Eventually, I saw juniper next to my boots and looked up - I made it to a meadow, where things can grow! And I saw trees nearby. As I entered dense brush again, it was hot and humid, I was overheating and stripping layers. The dark clouds brought us some cooling shade and a light sprinkle, but it didn’t last long before the sun, heat and humidity were back and worse than ever. I was so hungry and sore and tired but I just wanted to get out so I kept my pace. 

Once we started bumping into older adults with trekking poles and no water or backpacks, I knew we were close because we parked near a campground. I took off my boots and socks, stood in a cold river to ice my swollen toes and watched a wedding party take pictures with the mountains while I ate trailmix, dirty and sweaty.

Embracing the Thrill of Adrenaline-Fueled Activities

Stepping outside of your comfort zone and engaging in adventurous experiences can add an extra element of excitement and create lasting memories with your partner.

There are plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities to choose from, depending on your interests and location. One popular option is skydiving, where you and your partner can experience the breathtaking sensation of freefalling through the sky. The adrenaline rush and the feeling of weightlessness will undoubtedly make your date night one to remember.

If you prefer something closer to the ground, indoor rock climbing can provide an exhilarating challenge. Working together to conquer the climbing wall and overcome obstacles will not only boost your adrenaline but also strengthen your bond as a couple.

For those who love the water, white-water rafting is an excellent choice. Paddling through fast-flowing rivers and navigating through rapids will give you an adrenaline rush like no other. You'll need to work together and communicate effectively to navigate the waters safely, creating a sense of teamwork and shared adventure.

If you're looking for a date night activity that combines adrenaline with a touch of romance, consider a tandem bungee jump. As you leap from a towering platform, connected to your partner by a shared bungee cord, you'll experience a mix of fear and excitement. The rush of falling and the feeling of being weightless in the air can create an unforgettable bond between you and your loved one.

Other adrenaline-fueled activities that can make for an exciting date night include zip-lining, go-kart racing, and even trapeze lessons. The key is to choose an activity that gets your heart racing and provides a sense of adventure.

Embracing the thrill of adrenaline-fueled activities on your date night can inject a sense of excitement and spontaneity into your relationship. It allows you and your partner to step out of your comfort zones, create shared memories, and deepen your connection. So, why not try something new and embark on an unforgettable adventure together?

How to Make the Most of Spring Fitness Activities

Tennessee Men's Clinic recommends these strategies to optimize outdoor workouts this season:

Dress Appropriately – Spring weather can be unpredictable, so wearing breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics ensures comfort during workouts.

Stay Hydrated – Warmer temperatures increase the need for hydration, especially during high-intensity activities like running and cycling.

Switch Up Your Routine – Trying different activities prevents workout plateaus and keeps exercise enjoyable.

Listen to Your Body – Outdoor workouts can be more demanding due to varying terrain, so adjusting intensity levels as needed helps prevent injuries.

Essential Travel Tips for Sports Lovers Exploring the World

Traveling abroad for sports can be one of the most rewarding experiences, whether to compete in an international event, try out new sports, or simply enjoy the thrill of exploring new destinations. However, preparing for a sports-focused trip requires more than just booking a flight. To make your journey smooth and enjoyable, here are some top tips for sports enthusiasts traveling abroad.

Research Sports Opportunities in Your Destination

Every country has its own sporting culture, and understanding that culture can significantly enhance your experience. Whether you're planning to play your favorite sport or want to try something new, knowing what’s available at your destination will help you prepare. For example, if you’re heading to Spain, you may want to attend a live soccer match, while in Australia, surfing might be more appealing.

Research the local sports scene by researching popular events, public recreational sports facilities, or local sports clubs. Many cities have organized sports leagues, from recreational soccer to cycling clubs, where visitors can join. This is a great way to meet locals and enjoy the country's sporting culture.

Plan Your Travel Logistics Early

Booking your flights, accommodations, and ground transportation well in advance is key to a stress-free experience. Popular sports events can sell out quickly, so secure tickets early if you're attending a game, tournament, or competition. Likewise, when traveling with sports equipment, check with your airline for baggage policies regarding oversized luggage. Some airlines have restrictions or extra fees for transporting equipment, so confirming these details beforehand is essential.

If you’re bringing gear like tennis rackets, golf clubs, or ski equipment, consider renting locally at your destination to reduce travel burdens. Many sporting destinations offer excellent rental services, so you don’t need to carry heavy or bulky equipment across long distances.

Ensure You Have the Right Travel Insurance

Injuries and accidents can happen whether you're participating in competitive sports or just enjoying a leisurely activity. For sports enthusiasts traveling abroad, it’s crucial to have travel insurance that specifically covers sports injuries. Standard travel insurance may not cover the costs associated with sports-related injuries, so look for a policy that includes this coverage.

Additionally, confirm that the insurance covers medical evacuation, especially if traveling to remote areas. It’s better to be prepared than to face significant out-of-pocket costs in an emergency.

Pack the Essentials Without Overloading

When packing for a sports-focused trip, you want to bring only what’s necessary while minimizing excess baggage. Focus on the basics, such as athletic shoes, sportswear, and any gear required for your activities. If you're a golfer, you might want to bring your clubs, but if you're headed to a beach destination, a lightweight rack and swimming gear may be all you need.

Consider versatile clothing that can be used for multiple activities—running shoes that double as hiking footwear, for example. If your sport requires specialized equipment, check if rental options are available at your destination to lighten your load.

Stay Active and Keep Fit on the Road

One of the best things about traveling is the opportunity to maintain your fitness routine while enjoying new locations. Many hotels offer gyms and wellness programs, but if you prefer outdoor activities, take advantage of the environment around you. For instance, you could run in the morning in a scenic park, rent a bike to explore a new city, or find hiking trails in the nearby mountains.

Being in a new environment can also inspire you to try different forms of exercise. Whether paddleboarding in Thailand, skiing in the Swiss Alps, or beach volleyball in Brazil, experiencing a new sport while staying active can enhance your trip and contribute to your fitness goals.

Adjust to the Time Zone and Climate

Traveling across time zones and climates can impact your sports performance. If you're heading to a destination far from your home country, give yourself a few days to adjust to the local time zone. Gradually changing your sleep schedule before the trip can help you reduce jet lag and feel more energized for any sporting activities.

Also, be mindful of the climate. If traveling to a hot and humid destination, stay hydrated, wear appropriate clothing, and protect your skin from the sun. If you're going to a colder region, layer up and prepare for the elements, mainly if you’ll engage in winter sports like skiing or snowboarding.

Explore New Sports and Activities

Traveling abroad offers the perfect opportunity to try sports or activities that are popular in the region but not available at home. If you’re heading to a coastal area, you may want to try surfing or snorkeling. If you’re in Europe, take a tennis lesson or cycle through the countryside.

Many destinations also offer organized sporting events or competitions for tourists. Whether it’s a marathon in a famous city or a friendly football match, participating in local activities can provide a memorable experience while keeping you active during your trip.

Respect Local Customs and Etiquette

Sports are not just about playing; they also involve certain cultural norms and etiquette. Different countries have their own ways of engaging in sports, and respecting local practices is essential. For example, golf courses often have specific dress codes, tennis clubs may have rules about footwear, and some countries may have certain traditions about how to behave on the field or court.

Researching and understanding these norms will make your experience more enjoyable and allow you to embrace the local sporting culture fully. Additionally, if you're playing in a local league or recreational game, follow the rules and exhibit good sportsmanship.

Make Time for Rest and Recovery

Traveling for sports can sometimes lead to overexertion, especially if you're participating in multiple events or activities in a short period. To avoid burnout and injuries, take scheduled rest days during your trip. Relaxing and recovering will help you perform better and allow you to enjoy the destination itself.

Recovery might mean taking a day off from physical activity or enjoying a gentle walk or swimming instead of intense exercise. In some destinations, you may even have the opportunity to indulge in restorative activities like yoga or spa treatments that can help rejuvenate your muscles after a demanding workout or event.

Enjoy the Journey Beyond Sports

While sports will undoubtedly be a central part of your trip, don’t forget to enjoy the rest of what the destination offers. Explore cultural landmarks, taste local cuisine, and enjoy the environment. Whether you visit historical sites, attend cultural events, or simply relax at a beach, balance is key to making the most of your travel experience.

By embracing the entire journey, you can create a well-rounded trip filled with exciting sports experiences and enriching cultural encounters.

For sports enthusiasts, traveling abroad opens up exciting opportunities for adventure and physical challenges. By following these essential tips—preparing ahead of time, staying active, and respecting local customs—you can ensure that your sporting trip is smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Whether competing or exploring, your travels will be enriched by the new experiences and memories you create.
