The sun has fully set, but the sky isnât dark yet. I turn on the RVâs porch light, Claire helps me set up the table and we sit down for dinner.
âMmmm! Delicious!â Claire comments as soon as she swallows a bite of the trout. âAre you a chef or something?â
âNo. I just like to cook.â Iâm not lying. Cooking is one of the few things that take the stress out of me.
âWow. I donât know that many guys that cook well,â she says. âMy ex-boyfriend couldnât cook at all. Not even boiling pasta.â
Ex? Right. She told me she hadnât been laid for a while. But Iâm still not sure she is single. âWhat about your current boyfriend?â
She gulps down some wine and smirks. âI wouldnât be here if I got one.â
âJust making sure,â I say with flushed cheeks. âI find it incredible that a beautiful woman like you is available.â
âAww,â she coos and reaches across the table to hold my hand. âYouâre a sweet man, Dan. And same here. I donât understand why youâre alone.â
âIâm recently divorced.â I go on and tell Claire a summary of my story, making it as light as possible because I donât want it to ruin the lovely evening.
Claire listens intently, looking sympathetic. âIâm so sorry but I think your ex-wife is a fool to leave you.â
I chuckle. âThank you. But itâs fine. Weâve had some good times. Besides, the divorce inspired me to seek adventure. I wouldnât be here at the moment if it werenât for that.â
She grins. âI like your spirit.â
âThanks but it took me a while to get back on my feet. I was down in the dumps for nearly a year.â
âI know how you mustâve felt. When my ex left me, I thought the world ended andâ¦â She stops mid-sentence. âNever mind I donât want to talk about the jerk.â
Although Iâm curious, I donât press her to tell me more about her past. Instead, I urge her to have more trout.
As sheâs consuming another piece of the fish, Oliver jumps onto her lap causing her to squeal and then giggle.
Shit. That rascal has been hovering around Claire throughout dinner, begging for attention. Claire pats him once in a while but it isn't enough for him.
âOff, Oliver!â I hiss at him, but he ignores me.
âItâs okay,â Claire says while stroking the dog. âI like animals.â
Damn. âDid you grow up on a farm?â I ask, recalling that she works for her sisterâs farm.
âNo!â she says after swallowing a bite. âNeither did my sister Lizzie. We grew up in Houston. Her late husband John and his brother purchased the dairy farm ten years ago, and then John passed away five years ago. She was struggling with managing the farm and taking care of her stepdaughter. So I quit my job in Houston and moved there to help her out.â
âI see. Thatâs nice of you.â
She shrugs. âSheâs my only family and I was all alone. Besides, I really love living on a farm. The air is cleaner and itâs so quiet.
