By the time I made it down to the restaurant, Sacha was nowhere to be seen and Fabian was lounging in his chair like the queen he was and smirking at me. “Well, well, well,” he said, “you have been a very busy boy.”

I dropped into the chair beside him with a groan. “Please don’t tease. This is all so…complicated.”

“Mmm, yes. He’s absolutely smitten with you.”

Because he thought I was his fated mate, the one man destined to be his everything. Fuck me, that was a daunting thing to be for someone.

“Oh, quit your frowning,” Fabian snapped. “Jesus, you’re such a—”

“Excuse me! There are a lot of things to consider here, thank you very much.”

“Like what?”

I stared at him. How could he not guess on his own? “How about the fact that I’m leaving at the end of the week because I live on the other side of the country?”

Fabian shrugged. “Do you, though?”

Well, fuck, he had me there.

“Why not stay here,” he went on, “and see what it’s like? He’ll let you live with him—I know that without even asking. Let him be your sugar daddy for a while, or get a job at one of the bars. You know you’ll be running the place within a week.” He sat up and leaned toward me. “This is your chance to reinvent yourself. Why not explore the possibilities right here?”

I blinked at him. His earnest encouragement was entirely unexpected. I’d thought I would be coming down here to take a ribbing for deflowering a virgin and going M.I.A. for, like, twenty-four hours. Instead—and without even knowing all the details—my cousin was very seriously urging me to change my entire life. I didn’t know what to think.

Fabian patted the back of my hand and stood up. “Here,” he said and handed me a spiral-bound notepad with an attached pen. “Go find things and think about your life. This is the only time you get to be all in your head, though, so get it done.”

He tried to poke my forehead, but I whacked his hand and made him run off, giggling like a maniac. God, he was such a little shit. Making me contemplate my life while… I opened the notepad and saw a list of items to find for the scavenger hunt. Making me contemplate my life while finding branches, leaves, pinecones, and other nature bits, for fuck’s sake. Yep, that would have me knee-deep in my thoughts in no time.

I went over to the buffet tables to see if there was some kind of portable breakfast something to take with me while I went walkabout in the Colorado forest.
