Looking back now, I’m not sure if Mother Nature was taking pity on me—or if she was trying to give me a real good shove in the right direction.

Rain poured from the sky as another crack of thunder roared. There was no warning for the waterfall that fell from the sky. Rather than opening the curtains of the storm with a few drops of forewarning, an entire lake was practically dropped on us.

It was both a blessing and a curse, I think, because I didn’t have time to respond to Logan as we frantically stood up from the now sopping wet sleeping bag.

“Shit,” Logan growled as he frenziedly wrapped up the blanket and I reached for his pack.

Running to the tent, I heard Logan moving behind me. He dropped the sleeping bag on the ground beside the tent where no water was hitting as it was covered by the stretch of the tarp.

“Hurry,” I called as I tore open the zipper with wet fingers before throwing his pack inside the tent.

I pushed myself inside the tent with Logan close on my heels. Sitting on the plastic of the tent floor, I started laughing. Hysterically.

Logan swung his eyes to my face and his frown turned into a quirky grin. Water dripped from the tip of his nose. “What are you laughing at?”

“Us.” I held my belly. “Oh my goodness! Where did that even come from?”

He glared at the door of the tent as though telling the sky to screw off and sighed. “I have no clue. But I’m soaked.”

“We have to get out of these clothes.” My words held the power to electrify the air between us and I was brought back, face to face, with his earlier confession. “Um, I’ll go change under the tarp outside, if you want.”

He shook his head. “You stay in here.” He reached a hand into his pack, pulling out a pair of shorts. “I’ll go outside.”

I nodded and waited with a rapidly beating heart for him to leave. As soon as he was standing on the other side of the tent, I peeled the wet clothing from my body. My heart was drumming itself against the cage of my chest as I thought about the night we would face together. With his blanket now soaking wet, we only had mine. Was I ready for this?

Shaking the thought from my mind, I pulled a pair of boxer shorts onto my hips before tugging a tank top over my head. I called out to Logan. “You can come back inside.”

As soon as the words sounded from my mouth, I heard him tugging on the zipper. He stepped inside the tent and suddenly the space felt small and tight. My heart was a quick pitter-patter in my chest as I stared up at him. I felt his dark eyes roam over my body and even though I had worn less clothing than this in his presence, I suddenly and inexplicably felt naked.

Scooting back onto the head of my sleeping bag, I pulled my knees up into my chest.
