Hope pulls me into a huge hug the moment she walks through the door. Cash didn't hide his shock when Cole told him he was going into town to get my dog. To be honest, I'm still a bit shocked and nervous.

"OK, tell me everything. Are you comfortable here? What's he like? Do you want to stay or come back with us? How are you feeling?" Hope fires off so many questions all at once.

"Love, give her a moment to answer your questions before asking new ones." Cash chuckles.

"I feel okay. Yes, I'm comfortable here. He's exactly how you would picture another mountain man, but he's nice too. I want to stay here for a little bit, but I reserve the right to change my mind." I don’t want to worry them with the nightmares I've been having.

Hope glances at the stitches on the side of my head before looking into my eyes. "There's something else, isn't there?"

"Damn it, how can you read me like that?" I slump against the couch.

"It's a special skill you get when you're born in the South. Now spill."

"I had a nightmare last night about being back at the cabin and couldn’t get back to sleep. Cole went out to pick some blueberries to make breakfast, I lost sight of him and had a panic attack. I've never had one before."

"You've just been through a traumatic experience, even more so than me. It's to be expected." Hope scoots closer to me on the couch and wraps her arm around my shoulders. "Do you like him?"

I could play stupid and pretend I don't know what she’s talking about, but it would still come to the same answer. "Yes, I do."

"Good because him going to town to get your dog says everything. Cole has lived here for over five years and has never once been into town. You’re with him for less than a day and got him to go," Cash says, shaking his head in disbelief.

I'm as shocked as he is.

"We both had a feeling about each other when we met. It just took us a little bit longer to get there," Hope says.

She and Cash lock eyes and smile as if remembering when they first met, which was only a few months ago.

"Just remember, we're not far away, and we're happy to come to get you anytime, day or night," Cash says.

"We have news of our own." Hope squeals and bounces in her seat before holding her hand to show me a gorgeous diamond ring. "Cash proposed last night!"

I would be lying if I said I hadn't been expecting this. To be honest, I'm shocked Cash waited this long. A blind person could see how he feels about Hope, and she adores him.

"I'm so happy for you guys! Have you talked about plans and what you want to do?" I’m excited for my friends, and it’s good to focus on something other than the ordeal.

"We want a simple wedding here on the mountain. Something small with friends.
