Chapter 3

Once Nate had taken the horse back to its stable they exited the pasture and started down a long dirt road. On either side of them, fields of wildflowers grew in a riot of color among the tall grass. The sky was the purest Easter egg blue, with fluffy white clouds floating across it like froth on the water’s surface.

“This landscape is just stunning,” she said. “I can see why you and Spencer struck out for Wyoming after all that time in the city.”

“There’s really nowhere else like it—a true earthly paradise,” he agreed. “Actually, Spencer was a pretty hard sell.”

“No kidding?” she said. “He seems pretty happy here.”

“Oh, he is now. But you should have seen him at the beginning.” He gave a low whistle. “He’s a true city boy, born and bred. He couldn’t handle all this fresh air and wide-open space. He said it made him nervous.”

She giggled. It was funny to imagine Spencer being spooked by wide-open spaces.

“Yep, Spencer’s a great guy,” he said. “I’m the first person to say so. But not the most adaptable. When we first got out here, he was all ‘Where’s the Starbucks?’ and ‘What do you mean, I can’t get pad Thai delivered?’”

Her giggle had turned into a full-fledged laugh. Spencer seemed so comfortable here at Getaway—she remembered his ease in leading the group hike up the mountain the other day—so it was funny to think of him as an out-of-place city slicker.

“What’s your impression of Spencer?” Nate asked suddenly.

The question caught her off guard. Why was he asking? It could have been a perfectly innocent question, but then again . . . “He seems very nice,” she said weakly. She could feel the blush rising to her face. Ice water. Buckets of ice water, she commanded herself. She was never any good at hiding her emotions. Was it her imagination, or did she see Nate stiffen?

“Here we are,” he said. They had arrived at a creek, similar to the one that Spencer had taken her to but without the screen of pine trees hiding it from view. The clouds that swept over the mountains were reflected in its limpid surface, as was the peak of the nearest mountain. This encounter would not end as that one had, though—that was one thing she was sure of. Again, she felt her face flush with the memory of her impromptu tryst with Spencer after a sweaty day of hiking.

“What are we doing here?” she asked.

“Fly-fishing,” he said, setting down the bag. “Ever done it?”

“I can’t say I have,” she said.

“That surprises me,” he said.

“Really?” she said.

“Nope,” he said drily.

She laughed. Nate unzipped the bag and removed two long fishing rods that trailed yards and yards of blue line. “Lucky for you, there’s not too much skill involved,” he said.

“Hey!” she exclaimed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Why, only that you came to Getaway to relax and not to work yourself to death!” he said innocently, a smile playing in his eyes.

“I’ll give you that,” she conceded.
