It was well past dinner by the time he returned to camp. That was fine. He had some snacks in his room.

Grace’s side of the cabin was dark, and he thought about going in search of her, but the conversation he wanted to have couldn’t happen at the boathouse or around the bar in the main lodge.

Instead, he decided to leave her a note.

But while he was hunting for paper, and then a pen, she returned. He heard her footsteps outside and dropped the pad of paper he’d found, wanting to catch her before she went into her room.

She turned and looked at him when he burst onto the porch. “You’re back.”

“Yeah.” There wasn’t much light. Just the stream coming from his door, and she was in shadows, closer to hers. It was hard to read her.

“How was the hike?”

“Good enough. I needed to clear my head. Any trail would have sufficed.”

“Frank—”

“I’m sorry.” He barked it out. Not a great first take. “And I’m sorry for saying it like that, I guess.” He rubbed his jaw. “You’ve been kind to me.”

She moved closer. “You don’t have anything to be sorry for. You told me that after I crawled into your bed and made a fool of myself. Now it’s my turn to give that back. We’re all human. And we get drunk, we reach out, we…” She threw her head back and sighed. “We sometimes do stupid shit.”

It hadn’t been stupid. Simply premature. “Do you ever not swear?”

“Says the guy in the navy?” She looked back at him, her eyes twinkling. “Fuck no.”

He laughed with her. Then he sobered up again. “But seriously, Grace. I think we cleared up some confusion earlier, only for me to muddy those waters again.”

“Frank…if you had kissed me, that would have been okay, too. I’ve been single for twenty years. I kiss a lot of frogs. I know it doesn’t mean anything, and sometimes it feels good. Don’t overthink it.”

He wasn’t overthinking it. Not anymore. He’d spent all afternoon thinking, and reasoning, and trying to come up with any plan other than getting his mouth on hers.
