“Dude,” Clayton says, staring open-mouthed at Jasper and me. “What the hell?”

Mia is a step behind him with this confused look on her face.

I glance from them to Jasper, who pulled away as soon as we were interrupted, and is standing a foot away from me, rigid like a reindeer in headlights.

“It’s not…” Jasper says hurriedly, trying to collect his thoughts. “We weren’t—you don’t—I…”

He runs both hands through his hair, completely lost for words. Swiftly, he glances at me and I can see the cogs turning; he wants to deny everything, but he can’t while I’m here, because he knows how much that would hurt. And, besides, from the disgusted look on Clayton’s face, it’s probably too late for denial.

“We came to rescue you,” Clayton says. “Not to see whatever that was. Are you…I mean…with him?!”

Jasper takes a breath and steps forward, as if he’s made some secret decision.

“Clayton.”

“No way, man. That’s wrong on, like, so many levels.”

Clayton leaves the cabin, pushing past Mia and disappearing outside, where the sun has already broken through the clouds.

“I have to…” Jasper looks at me, gesturing to the door.

I nod, letting him know I’m fine, I understand, and he runs after Clayton. Who knows what he’s going to say. But I think Jasper might be done denying. If Clayton is a real friend, he’ll support Jasper. Though I doubt he is.

Mia is leaning against the doorframe now with her arms crossed and this sort of impressed look arching one of her brows.

“That was quite the surprise,” she says, grinning.

I rub the back of my neck. “Yeeeaaaah.”

“Happy Christmas to me, I guess,” she says. “Come on, let’s get you back to the packhouse.”
