Chapter 13

Molly should’ve known that with Brody, Emily, and Sarah coordinating the camping trip, there was no way it wasn’t going to be perfect. Or over-the-top. Or as unlike traditional camping as you could get while still sleeping in tents in the woods. They’d gone to Google Earth and scouted out the available sites, securing the last four backing up to the woods with a decent distance between them and the next campers in front of them.

She’d ridden up with Emily and Sarah Friday morning, leaving around ten. Both the girls had a few things to handle at their respective offices, which left Molly an extra couple of hours of sleep. But mostly it had given her a handy excuse not to ride up with Sean.

No matter how she sliced it, the two of them were a pair. Not that it was something new or something terrible. It was just that with the way her brain had been misfiring recently, anything she could do to avoid that coupled-up feeling seemed wise. So she’d ridden with the girls in Max’s Charger, Sean had gone with Jase in the SUV, and Max had ridden along in the truck Brody rented to transport all the necessities.

The girls ran down to greet their husbands. Emily got dipped back into one of those showy kisses Molly never would’ve guessed Jase had in him but had become all but standard since the two had gotten together. And Sarah stepped into Max’s arms, pushing up to her toes to meet him for a kiss Molly ended up having to turn away from. He was her brother, for crying out loud.

They had a routine. Each couple, their own thing. And seeing it usually made Molly smile, but then usually, she wasn’t fighting her own thing. Because she had one too. She and Sean. And right then, he was stepping out from behind the truck, dressed in a Wyse Hotel T-shirt that had found the perfect balance between fitted and tight, a pair of ripped-up cargo shorts, and hiking boots with socks. There were two coolers stacked in his hold, and it took everything she had not to give in to the pull of habit, skip down
