The guys donât let me starve.
And none of us catch fish.
Pretty sure they knew that would happen. They pull a cooler out of the truck and produce packets of dehydrated backpacking meals once we get back from our trek to a stream-fed pond not far from camp.
Pretty pond, but the fish werenât biting. And we stayed until I was good and pink on my arms.
Might need better sunscreen at this elevation. Probably shouldâve asked Emma what she uses.
Not sure what I can use to help my tongue, though.
And Iâm not talking about the heat from the water that Grey boiled with a fancy miniature propane stove and that they used to rehydrate the meals in their own pouches.
âGood, isnât it?â Theoâs lounging in a camp chair, slouched low, legs kicked out and crossed at the ankles. Thereâs a water bottle in his armrest cupholder, and heâs chowing down on a packet of rehydrated pad thai.
Grey sits taller in his chair, one ankle propped over a knee, slowly sipping off a can of kombucha while enjoying his packet of red beans and rice.
âNevah had cam foo like dis,â I reply. Iâm working on a packet of jambalaya, and my mouth is on fire.
Fire.
I like spicy food, but Iâm starting to wonder if they doctored mine with extra hot sauce when I wasnât looking.
I canât feel my tongue.
I canât feel my teeth.
I canât feel my gums or my throat.
âWas your camp food usually catered?â Theo asks.
âDonât knock catered camp food,â Grey says. âIt gives you fancier constipation.â
Iâd laugh, but my tongue might be swelling. I glance at the package again as I reach for my own kombucha.
Salty Marvinâs Fire In The Hole.
Thatâs the brand.
And I picked it.
And when Theo said, you sure?, I doubled down.
Iâm an idiot.
No doubt my two hosts are well aware.
Neither of them have Salty Marvinâs meals. They both have different brands.
âYou go to camp when you were a kid, Jonas?â Theo asks.
âDee-ahâahem. Theatah cam.â I guzzle more kombucha. Not helping. It might actually be like gasoline to the fire that is my dinner. âYeah. Catah-ed mees. You?â
Jesus. This is embarrassing.
I canât even talk.
I understand myself less than I understand Bash, and I know what Iâm trying to say.
âMade my own summer camp. Grey?â
âSummer camp is the only academic program I was ever kicked out of.â
Theo does a double take, then starts to grin. âGonna need the rest of this story.â
âCanât.â
âWhat, you have an NDA?â
âNope. Forgot about it until just now, and I havenât told Sabrina the story yet. She gets it first.â
âI wonât tell her if you tell us first.â
âYes, you will.â
Theo grins againâdefinitely agreeing with that sentimentâand looks at me. âWhat about you? You ever get kicked out of theater camp?â
I shake my head.
Sweat is beading at my forehead thick enough to drip into my eyebrows.
âOkay there?â Grey asks me.
âNot eading undil you sweadin.â Is that a line I said once in a script for a movie where a very similar situation played out? Not eating until youâre sweating.
