Chapter 20

Sam pulled his black truck into the parking space in front of his camper. He shut off the engine, unbuckled his seat belt and rubbed his neck tiredly. It had been a completely wasted day.

After he had finished helping Stan and Gwen unpack their gear, he had driven away from the campsite with no clear destination in mind. He had just needed to get away, and that’s exactly what he had done.

He drove for nearly an hour before stopping and pulling over to rest. He stepped out of his truck and sat along the side of the road. He sat for quite a while looking out at the beautiful landscape, unable to think about anything but Rachel and the way everything had changed in the few days since she had come back into his life.

Although he still had plans to join a medical practice in the mountains, the rest of his plans for his future had changed dramatically. He had decided that no woman would interfere with his life, yet here was Rachel, throwing his life into a spin just by being a part of his days again. Being with her and feeling the comfort of her trusted friendship was making him begin to hope again. He was frightened by his sudden vulnerability.

But it was more than that. He knew that his feelings toward her spoke of much more than the friendship that they had shared. He felt comfortable with her. He enjoyed her. He wanted her. Permanently.

He sat and thought for nearly two hours then got into his truck and headed back toward the campground. On the way he stopped in town to stock up on supplies before beginning the journey up the mountain road to head back to the camper that he realized had become his home. He also realized that he felt that way because Rachel was there.

As he drove, his mind continued to race with thoughts of Rachel. His recent relationships had taught him to be wary. But his friendship with Rachel kept creeping into his thoughts. Wasn’t it better to start as friends and grow into something more? Shouldn’t two people like each other more than anything else? Wasn’t that a good foundation for a loving relationship?

He had learned the hard way not to trust any woman, and he didn’t like the fact that he was ignoring all the warning bells going off in his head. The only thing he was certain of was that he didn’t want to think about not being able to see Rachel when she left to go back home to Connecticut at the end of the summer. The past ten years had been difficult for him, and having her and Roy in his life again was something that he wasn’t prepared to lose again.

Sam smiled and shook his head as he sat in his parked vehicle. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He opened the truck door and stepped out, turning to lift out his coat and the bag of groceries before slamming the door shut and locking it.
