Emma stared at her piles of makeup. Max was probably going to throw them back in the water, since the Bears kept winning those challenges, so she’d be smart to replicate her style from the day before. The carefully applied waterproof cosmetics he’d mistaken for natural.

She rolled her eyes. Men had no idea how much time and money went into the natural look.

This morning, she was tempted to show him her actual face and see his reaction. See if he would gaze at her the way he had last night once he saw her freckles and pale eyelashes and oily T-zone.

No. That was ridiculous. Max was just another guy. No reason to get worked up about him, especially when she was leaving soon. She’d almost forgotten that last night, when she allowed herself to fall apart around him, when his expression was hot and intense and adoring, all at once.

She’d barely remembered in time to rush him out the door—even when that quiet voice inside her, the one that insisted Max felt different, began to speak a little louder.

In the end, Emma settled for a powder foundation, a sweep of shimming gold eye shadow, waterproof volumizing mascara, some bronzer, and her favorite peach-toned lip gloss. It was a light day.

When she stepped out of her cabin, the teams were already milling outside the lodge. She ducked into the Grub Shack to grab a quick bagel with cream cheese, then joined the Wolves. “What is it today?” she asked Holly. “Powerlifting? Shot put? Running with heavy weights attached to our ankles?”

“My brother isn’t subtle, is he?”

Emma flashed to thoughts of Max’s talented fingers finding her most sensitive spots. He had some gift for subtlety, though not one she wanted to share with his sister.

“How little faith you have in me,” Max said as he passed them on the way to his group. He didn’t glance in Emma’s direction.

He continued not to look at her as he announced the morning challenge. They were working on the Wilderness badge. He also didn’t look at her when they went hiking, or when she immediately identified the poison oak—after last year, she’d become something of an expert—or when she headed the exact wrong direction despite holding the compass. And when the teams improbably tied when they both managed to identify all the local trees, he still didn’t glance her way—and he didn’t have a plan for a tiebreaker.

The tie meant everyone earned the prize of an hour-long golf lesson, but neither team took the overall lead.

Her fear that Max would spend the day casting adoring looks in her direction was starting to feel a little silly. Maybe he was a hit-’em-and-quit-’em kind of guy who got really schmoopy right before he blew his wad. He wouldn’t be the first one.

It didn’t matter, she reminded herself. If he wanted to keep things casual, that made life simpler.

The next challenge wouldn’t begin until five o’clock, so Emma had the entire afternoon to kill and no interest in a golf lesson.
