Connor watched Riley’s feet pound into the ground, ahead of him. He paced next to the foot impressions she was leaving on the dirt path, careful not to disturb the tread of her tennis shoes, or the small dog prints left behind by Zoey. He was upset with her, that she insisted on staying here before she knew anything about the place or anything about the scruffy looking drunk who called himself Fin. It was barely 8 o’clock in the morning, and judging from the guy’s odor, he had vodka for breakfast. Unless he never went to sleep and the vodka was a late, late night-cap. Both scenarios made sense.

He should have tried harder to convince her to stay at the fire house, at least then they wouldn’t be shacking up next door to a crazy looking alcoholic mountain man with a very large handgun that he probably slept and showered with. What did he need a gun for anyway, in the middle of the woods, with no people around? As soon as the thought crossed his mind he realized he would feel safer somehow, having a gun of his own. Problem was he didn’t know how to handle a real one.

Once he got Riley settled into a cabin, he’d sit her down and talk to her, find out what her plans were, now that they were here…and obviously not alone. What was she planning on doing now? He sure as hell had no idea. The lodge wasn’t very secure, and other than the front gate there was no way to lock the whole place down. If they made it here, he imagined others would find their way up the mountain too. Something told him Fin wouldn’t be happy sharing the lodge with a large group of people, unless of course there was another woman or two in the group. Fin only seemed to look at Riley when he spoke, and made no effort to hide his interest in her looks. And she seemed too eager to trust Fin, perhaps because he was the first one to the lodge and offered them a place to stay, however begrudgingly, or maybe it was because she didn’t want to be alone with Connor indefinitely.

He glared at the dusty footprints as he followed Riley down the pathway to the last cabin. He was starting to wonder why she would choose the building furthest away, but when she walked up onto the cabin’s wrap-around deck, he realized the reason. From this cabin they had an unobstructed view of the south side of the lake, and the sloping mountain side beyond it. He turned to look back up the path where they came from, and knew the scene from each cabin was spectacular, but this one on the end definitely had the best view. He watched her blonde braid sway along her back as she peered inside the cabin windows and he realized that if she wanted to stay here forever, he would do it. To wake up every day in this place with her would almost feel like waking up in heaven.
