As she was locking up her cabin, Robin had an idea. She called out to the women. “I’ll meet you up there. I know where I can get a binder!” Emily acknowledged her with a dispirited wave as the women trudged up the path toward the lodge.

Robin went over to the other side of the Pine Cone cabin and knocked. Leroy barked and Alec opened the door a crack. He peered out at her with a toothbrush hanging out of the side of his mouth. Through a mouthful of toothpaste, he mumbled. “What are you doing here?”

“Everyone else on my team is heading up to the lodge. But I need a binder and I know you have one.”

He opened the door and waved her in. Leroy bounded over to her with an expectant look. As she bent to pet the dog, Robin glanced at Alec as he wandered back into the bathroom. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, and her cheeks warmed in embarrassment. Sweet blue blazes, why wasn’t he dressed? She shoved Leroy over so she could surreptitiously peer around the corner of the bathroom doorway to catch another glimpse of Alec’s muscular back as he finished brushing his teeth. Her toe bumped into a heavy red metal box and Robin covered her mouth, so he wouldn’t hear her yelp of pain.

This was ludicrous. What was she? Thirteen? It wasn’t like she’d never seen a half-naked man before. What was wrong with her? Alec wasn’t startlingly good-looking like Brett was with the whole dashing tall, dark, and handsome thing going for him. But it wasn’t like Alec was unattractive either. Obviously, given his athletic build, he got out and did some form of exercise. He had broad shoulders tapering to a nice- fitting pair of faded Levis. Heavens to Murgatroyd, those were some impressive biceps too.

Alec walked out of the bathroom, grabbed an old Portland Trail Blazers’ t-shirt off a chair, and yanked it over his head. “Why do you need a binder?”

“Leaping lizards, you have a red t-shirt. I need that too. This is wonderful. My team could actually win!”

“Did you just say leaping lizards? Who are you, Little Orphan Annie?” He looked down at his shirt. “Wait a minute. You want my shirt too?”

“Yes! It’s for the scavenger hunt. This is great. I bet no one else has a red t-shirt.” She paused. “Well, except maybe Nigel. But all the women are far too well-dressed to consider bringing a t-shirt, right?”

“I have no idea.”

“Please take it off. I have to get back to the group.” She paused. “Oh, wait a minute—do you wear boxers?”

He raised his eyebrows. “Why do you need to know that?”

“I need a pair of shorts. Boxers are close enough, don’t you think?”

“You want to steal my underwear too?”

“Yes. And I need the three-ring binder. I know you have one.”

“I’m not participating in the scavenger hunt. Isn’t this cheating?”

“No! I would never cheat! I’m following the rules Brett gave us. He said we’re not allowed to break into anyone’s room without permission, but you let me in, so it’s okay.
