The next few days flew by.

There was always someone with me at all times—Lauryn, Aunt Maggie, Uncle Jim, and Landon didn’t let me out of their sights.

It was nice to have people care about me, but also freaky to think that I’d scared them this much that they didn’t want to leave me alone. I wasn’t planning on taking my life or anything like that.

No one brought up what happened. I thought this to be very strange, at first, but soon came to realize they were giving me space. They wanted me to come to them. To trust them. Which I didn’t know if I could.

Landon was either with me or calling me. While I really loved having him around, I was learning quickly that this was becoming more than a friendship.

I wasn’t sure how to feel about that. Did I like it? Yes. Did it scare the shit out of me? Yes. Was I terrified of him getting hurt? Absolutely.

He had never once tried to kiss me, but his constant gentle touches caused my body to overheat.

Since postponing the dinner with his parents because ‘I didn’t feel well,’ they were expecting us at their place tomorrow night. I was a bit nervous, but it was just dinner.

My hands were healing up nicely. The scabs that formed weren’t pretty, but they didn’t hurt. I’d had much worse. I didn’t have to wear the bandages and had no more passing out episodes.

“Sadie?” I turned toward my bedroom door and saw Landon leaning against the doorjamb, with his arms crossed against his chest and his megawatt smile plastered on his face.

I couldn’t help but smile back. He was unbelievably gorgeous.

“Hey Landon.”

“Lauryn let me in.”

“I just figured you used the key.” I knew he had it from when he worked on the place.

Smiling he said, “I’ll have to remember that.”

“What’s up?”

“I was wondering if you would go for a drive with me.”

“Drive? Where to?”

“Just to this awesome spot I want to show you.”

I hadn’t been out of the house since the incident, as we were calling it, and it would be nice to get some fresh air.

“Sure. Let me throw some things together.”

Moving from the doorway, Landon wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, which I did the same.

He pulled away slightly and looked in my eyes. His eyes then drifted toward my lips. I knew what he was thinking, and I wanted it, too. But he didn’t act on his thoughts. He just said, “Hurry. I can’t wait to show you.” Then he left the room.

The drive was pretty short, but when he pulled onto the dirt road, I began to take in my entire surroundings. Tall, beautiful trees lined the dirt road. At the end, I saw the sheen of water that the sun beautifully reflected off. Driving closer, I saw a large grassy area that the trees gave wonderful shade to. Relaxing was the first word that came to mind.

I didn’t see anyone around. It was just us.

“What is this place?” I asked, reaching for the door handle.
