Chapter Eighteen

Everyone but Theo, who was driving, slept the entire way back to Yosemite. But naps—and any relaxation whatsoever—were over the second they pulled into the campground parking lot. Josh went off to climb, Danny rushed over to the Park Service office, and April helped Madigan and Theo set the camp back up.

They would be reshooting Flying Sheep in two days, and now that she knew Josh’s secret route to the lake, she would not have to use the dreaded climber’s trail for filming the top out. Hallelujah. Code for Verity would come next week, since the rockfall had stopped, and they’d be prepping for the Sorcerer in between.

April went to her tent to change her clothes for rappelling practice with Madigan and took some extra time there to be alone with her thoughts about Josh. It had been the most beautiful, intense night of her life. But it had been just that. One night. Now they were in Yosemite, and it was over. To break the rules while they were here on the job was a whole different level of wrong, and she had to put space between them so she’d mentally be able to handle filming him on the Sorcerer. Not that she was presuming Josh would be interested in more. Besides, he’d be leaving for Utah to shoot an Esplanade Equipment commercial as soon as he climbed the Sorcerer.

You knew this was the way it had to be, and you did it anyway. Now you have to get on with things just as they were before.

She forced herself out from beneath the weight of her sadness and walked to the parking lot to meet Madigan. He was at the van, chugging from a huge bottle of water. She prayed he was too drunk to remember any of the things he’d almost told her last night.

Theo joined them, and they followed the trail well past Celery Slabs to a lesser-used top-roping cliff. While Theo went around to the top to fix an anchor for the ropes, she and Madigan got into their gear. He wasn’t joking around with her like normal, which wasn’t a good sign, and she could really use the distraction right about now. He carefully avoided eye contact when he handed her the backpack with the camera in it, making her cringe. It was going to be a long afternoon.

They clipped into the ropes, but Madigan made no attempt to start ascending. He sighed. “I feel like I need to say something here.”

Shit. Couldn’t they just pretend it never happened?

“I was pretty drunk last night,” he said. “I vaguely remember coming to your room. I think I might have said something—”

“Oh! Nothing. You didn’t say anything. You’re right. You were really drunk. Josh and I just helped you back to your room.”

“I really feel like I said something, though. Something I shouldn’t have.”

April pretended to think it over. “Not that I can remember. But, you know, I was drinking a lot, too.”

He looked at her like he didn’t know whether to believe her or not.
