"When did you start hiking?" Brad asked Luke as they waited for the others to gather outside the lodge.

"When I was seven," he replied. "It was here in this valley. My parents used to bring me and my brothers to the resort for family vacation."

"So you've been to Wolmer Falls?"

"No. We went to a waterfall, but that wasn't the name, and it was not very far from here."

"Sweetheart Falls," Brad said with a nod. "It's a half mile behind the lodge. It's not very big, but the little kids love it."

"It seemed big to me at the time," he said with a grin. "Anyway, years later, in my late teens, I climbed Half Dome and about seven years ago, I did El Capitan. I included some of that footage in my first film."

"I remember. You captured the experience perfectly. I've had the pleasure of doing both twice. It never gets old."

"No, it doesn't."

"But you've been all over the world. You've climbed Everest. That's amazing." Brad gave him a sheepish smile. "As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan. You're a rock star to the guys I hang out with."

He laughed. "Trust me, I have met a lot of people far more bad ass than me," he said, genuinely meaning it. "I push the boundaries, but I've filmed people who have never heard of boundaries."

"When is the next film coming out?"

"Hopefully in six weeks to two months. We just shot the last segment. Now it's onto editing."

"And then what?"

He grinned at Brad's enthusiasm. "I have some ideas; we'll see how they develop."

"What ideas are those?" Lizzie asked, joining their conversation.

"For my next film," he said.

"And…" she asked, curiosity in her eyes.

"I can't say yet."

"Sounds mysterious."

"More like I just don't plan that far ahead," he said dryly.

"True. I forgot."

"But I have gotten better," he said, seeing the gleam in her eyes. "I've had to. I have several corporate sponsorships and contracts to fulfill, which means I need to know where I'm going, what I'm going to be wearing, and who I'm going to be shooting, so there's definitely more advance prep than when I first started out."

"I didn't realize you have sponsors," she said. "I thought only athletes and celebrities have those."

"Apparently, some companies think I qualify."

"He more than qualifies," Brad put in. "Luke is a super athlete, Liz. He does things most people wouldn't dream of doing. Didn't you see the commercial World Sports did with him bungee jumping off the Widow Maker Bridge in New Zealand?"

"No, I didn't see that. And I don’t think jumping off a bridge called the Widow Maker sounds like a good idea."

"I survived. Not that I would have made anyone a widow."

"Was it easier to risk your life knowing there wasn't a woman waiting for you to come home?" she asked, her tone more serious than it had been before.

"I think it was," he said slowly. "Although, there were a few women along the way who asked me to live so I could take them to dinner.
