Win was pretty sure she heard Angus groan with frustration, and she didn’t blame him; she was frustrated herself. Would they ever get the chance to be alone together?

“Uh… sorry to interrupt. Win? Can you come up to the manor?” Riley asked.

Had she seen them together? Win wasn’t sure. Angus raked a hand through his thick hair and ambled back to his hydroponics setup, muttering under his breath.

“Okay,” Win managed to say. “What’s going on?”

“We’re… making plans for our next guests. Thought maybe you’d be willing to pitch in.”

“Of course.”

She exchanged a disappointed look with Angus when Riley turned to leave but followed her outside. Riley hadn’t talked to her much since she’d returned to Base Camp, and Win had a sudden surge of fear that maybe this summons was an excuse for the women to tell her they didn’t actually want her here at all, but when they reached the manor, she found Savannah in the kitchen pouring cups of tea for the three of them. Baby Jacob was asleep in a portable crib nearby.

“How many guests are coming?” Win asked, taking a seat at the table.

“Actually, would you mind if we talked about something else for a minute?” Riley asked with a significant look at Savannah.

Savannah lowered herself into a chair and sighed. “Thank goodness Jacob’s asleep. He’s been nursing every hour on the hour lately.”

“Growth spurt,” Riley said.

“I wish I hadn’t missed so much of your pregnancy,” Win said truthfully.

“I wish I hadn’t missed so much of yours.” Savannah smiled. “Congratulations. I hope you work things out with Angus.”

“Me, too.” This was going much better than she’d expected. Neither woman seemed uncomfortable with her, and Win wondered if they’d decided to take her at her word that she was back for good, or maybe they felt sorry for her because of Leslie’s presence at Base Camp. She turned to Riley, wanting to keep the conversation flowing. “How are you feeling these days?”

“I’m all right. The doctor says I’m out of the woods. Odds are low I’ll miscarry again now, although I don’t think I’ll be able to breathe until I hold my baby in my arms.”

“I’m sure everything will be fine,” Win assured her, more grateful than she could say that neither of them seemed ready to take her to task for leaving Base Camp. “So… what did you want to tell me? I thought maybe you were mad at me.”

“No,” Savannah said. “I mean, it hurt when you left. I didn’t understand it, but with everything that’s happened since then, I think we’ve all learned that you never really know what’s going on in someone else’s life. I always thought you and Angus belonged together. I’m glad you’re back.”

“What we’re hoping to find out,” Riley said, “is if you’ve talked to Avery?”

“I’ve been sleeping in her tiny house; of course I’ve talked to her.”

“I mean about what happened? With the stealing?” Riley played with her spoon.

“I saw the episode, and it’s clear she’s mad as hell at Walker, which is fair, given how mad he was at her before he had all the information.
