Half an hour later, they each ate breakfast sausages, hash browns, and eggs that Lily had cooked in a cast iron pot over the fire she’d built all on her own. Although the food was a little bland—she’d forgotten to add salt and pepper—she was still proud of herself for having cooked it. A week ago, she probably would have had a panic attack at the thought. But it wasn’t so hard and even with the lack of seasoning, Ethan wasn’t complaining. Wookie even sat by his feet, begging for morsels that he didn’t provide to her. After ten minutes of staring at him with soulful eyes, the dog gave up and laid her head on her front paws, dejected.

As Lily filled her belly with warm food and soaked up the heat of the fire, her nervous shivers dissipated. The panic of nearly drowning melted away under the comfort of the moment. Around them, the birds and sun woke around them, filling the air with light and a cheery warble. Even with the occasional mosquito, a strange calm permeated the area around the campfire. Her mind kept drifting to the kiss. Had Ethan meant to do that? Did he even remember? He wasn’t acting any different and things didn’t seem awkward between them.

With food in her belly, Lily soon felt more like herself. As she ate, she turned over Ethan’s words by the edge of the lake. Some of the cabins had been tampered with? Her mind jumped into Reporter Mode, itching to add this to her daily column. However, she had been hired for a reality-TV reminiscent news piece. Rob wanted articles on how an unprepared city girl survived in a cabin in the mountains. Not to mention, she had no information about this sabotage, save for what Ethan had told her. But would the addition of someone trying to sabotage the campground make her articles more interesting? It could be an edge to win the contest not to mention the chance to report about something interesting.

But there was something more that nagged at Lily. Sabotage would hurt Ruby. Ruby had been kind and sweet and Lily was becoming rather fond of her. If someone messed with things, the town could shut her down. Lily remembered the wedding picture in the box. Ruby could lose the campground, the very place she had been married. Lily could only imagine how that would rip her apart. She would not let that happen. Not if she could help it.

“Tell me more about this sabotage.” Lily tucked her almost-dry hair behind her ear as she leaned forward to meet Ethan’s gaze. “Do you truly think this Pittman character is responsible for my lack of water?”

“I do.”

“What proof do you have?”

Ethan ran a hand over his chin. At the movement, Wookie glanced up and tilted her head. With a heavy sigh, Ethan admitted. “None.”

“What makes you think there was any tampering at all? This seems like an odd conclusion to jump toward.”

Ethan unfolded his long legs as he stood.
