I am looking for a story about two boys that lived on the U.S./Canada border around Abbotsford B.C. They met when one of the boys had a flat on his bike and they hopped across the border to fix it. They eventually became good friends and visited back and forth.
Under these COVID related times I would like to get the name to pass along to some friends to read.

I recall the story. They both lived in back to back homes with their back fences abutting each other's yards across the border. Both of their fathers were border patrol agents for their respective countries. The boys dug a tunnel between their garden sheds so they could tryst together bumping uglies or making out or whatever. They also started their own little black market in candy at their local schools, selling candy brands or bars not available in their own countries to their classmates. This continued for awhile until...
I don't recall what site it's on or who the author is.

Stories by Gee Whillikers (pseudonym) are on Dabeagle.com and awesomedude.com and codeysworld.com with the most stories being on AD. However, there is one story (The Spelling Bee) that is on Codeysworld.com and not on the other two sites.

The Wish, linked above, is one of my favorites of Gee's. Probs also in my top 10 of this genre. Great story by an accomplished author.
