THURSDAY, MAY 30—CURRY

The past week had flown by for Tayler. Allan immediately took her out on every hike and outing they offered. He said the best way for her to get acclimated would be to dive right in. Some of the outings were pleasant hikes—nothing arduous—while a couple of the others were more strenuous. It didn’t bother her at all. She’d enjoyed each one of them, and she’d already filled an entire notebook with everything she’d learned.

Though some of the flora and fauna were different from what was found in Yellowstone and Colorado, they were still her expertise. What she didn’t know from personal encounters, she had learned from books. She had a knack for providing information to the guests that Allan said he didn’t even know. She also spoke three additional languages—French, Spanish, and Italian—thanks to her mother’s insistence on the high-society tutor. All three languages had come in handy at different times.

The animals they encountered provided some of her favorite experiences—especially the hard-to-find caribou, who were rarely spotted. No matter what, each day, Allan had congratulated her on her knowledge and a job well done.

But the same couldn’t be said for her interaction with Thomas.

He’d been guiding other outings so they could keep up with the schedule. She knew that soon she’d have to work on her own or even with Thomas on other events, but he still hardly even spoke to her. Not that there had been much of a chance, but still. She didn’t know what to do about the situation.

The end of the workday was upon her and she sighed. Was there anything she could do to gain Thomas’s respect?

The object of her thoughts walked into their shared office at that moment. He went straight to Allan. “Only one sprained ankle today.” He wiped a hand down his face. “I really wish some of these people would listen a bit better to the precautions.”

“Was it another woman in fancy shoes?” Allan shook his head.

“No, this time it was a man. But his shoes were definitely fancy.” Thomas’s face lit up in a smile. It made him very attractive. “When I informed him that he’d stepped in a pile of moose scat, he had a fit and took a tumble down the hill. And it wasn’t even much of a hill. . . .” Thomas shook his head and laughed. “And then the ladies all wanted to examine the droppings. Lots of giggling ensued as they examined the pellets and talked about how uniform their shape and size were. You know how it goes.”

Allan laughed along with him. “Unfortunately, I do. Everyone is fascinated with moose scat.” He looked back down at the papers he’d been working on. “Tayler, would you join us over here?”

She walked over and stood next to Thomas. “How can I help?”

Allan looked at both of them and put his hands on his hips. “We have two camping excursions scheduled for the middle of June. These are the first overnight trips of the season, and they will be going on at the same time.
