The fire crackles and pops, but it doesn’t bother the four remaining people around the fire.

Me.

Cal.

His parents.

I can tell with each passing second beyond the midnight hour, Cal grows more and more agitated. He wants to drag me back to his cabin, but can’t seem to find it in him to tell his parents he wants to abandon them for sex. It’s actually quite endearing.

“I like this one,” David says, tipping his beer at me. “She’s smart. Not just a pretty face.”

Cal lets out a snort. “Glad you approve, Dad.”

“She wants to be a doctor. Those other girls you dated wanted to be strippers.” David laughs so hard it sends Kate into a fit of giggles.

“Unbelievable,” Cal mutters. “My own dad is cockblocking me right now because he won’t shut up.”

I swat at him. “Be nice.”

“Yeah,” David says, swiping tears from his eyes. “Be nice to your old man. I wiped your ass until you were five.”

“Dad!”

Now Kate and I are giggling at their antics. It’s crazy to me how similar Cal is to his father. Like my own dad, David carries his age well. He’s fit and handsome. Always smiling. It makes me wonder if Kate sees the unsmiling David. If she sees the angry one or the one who hurts. I feel special to be let into his world, even if I was lured into it at first as punishment.

David finally collects himself and takes another sip of beer. “So I hear your dad’s a homophobe.”

This time, I’m the one cringing.

“No,” I bark out, rushing to defend Dad. “He’s just a control freak. When my brother came out as gay, he had a hard time wrapping his head around it. He said some horrible things and our family was torn apart, but he’s been trying to do right by Hollis.”

David nods as though he accepts this answer. “Truth is, I was shocked as shit when Roan showed up to dinner one day with your brother on his arm. Cal never mentioned it. Just let me experience it firsthand.” He shoots his son an annoyed glare. “Nearly choked on my lasagna too when Roan planted a kiss on that boy’s face.” He points at Cal. “You’re an asshole for not warning me.”

Cal shrugs, flashing his dad a wicked grin. “Like to keep you on your toes, old man.”

“I’m not fucking old,” David grumbles. “Right, babe?”

Kate grins at him. “More handsome than the day you asked me to marry you.”

“And here’s where they try to make another baby,” Cal grumbles, rising to his feet. “On that note, I’m going to get this little one tucked in and read her a bedtime story.”

His dad cracks up laughing as he ribs his wife. “That’s code for—”

“Dad!”

Kate and I giggle again. I stand up and give both Kate and David a hug before gathering my bag up. Cal speaks lowly to his dad and then they shake hands. He leans down to give his mom a kiss.

I wait for him at the edge of the woods where a trail will take us up to the Campfire Chaos cabin.
