“I can’t believe we’re staying in tents.”

I was almost giddy when Jack finished erecting the two small tents, my gaze bouncing between them. I tried to help him when it came time to erect the temporary nylon shelters, but he said I was more of a hindrance – which was mildly hurtful, but I was too excited to care.

“Yes, it’s the highlight of my evening,” Jack said, tossing a sleeping bag in my direction and shaking his head. “I see you got the campfire burning. Looks a little lopsided, but … good job.”

I was fairly certain that was the closest thing to a compliment I would get out of him, so I let it slide. “I know how to make a campfire. I was a counselor at summer camp as a teenager.”

“Really?” Jack cocked an eyebrow. “I don’t see you at a summer camp.”

“Well, I probably wouldn’t go back after what happened, but I had a good time up until the end.”

“What happened?” Jack asked, tossing his sleeping bag in the tent closest to him without bothering to look inside. Both the tents and sleeping bags were new – Chris purchased them one town over this afternoon – so Jack didn’t appear to be worried about bugs being inside. That was at the top of my list of things to worry about. I’m not big on bugs.

“It was a cold night. My friends started disappearing one by one until I was the only one left.” I adopted an eerie voice as I flicked my new flashlight on under my chin. “I followed a trail of blood from the kitchen and found a body. It seems there was a legend around those parts. A killer thought drowned in the lake as a child kept coming back.”

Jack heaved a sigh as he settled on the ground next to the fire. “That’s the plotline of Friday the 13th.”

“Seen that one, have you?”

“Anyone who likes horror movies has seen it,” Jack replied, his tone weary.

“Do you like horror movies?” I left my sleeping bag behind to put away later and sat on the ground next to him. I positioned myself so I was close, but not so close I might inadvertently touch him. We were alone in the woods, and I didn’t want to give him any ideas, after all. Now that Bay had mentioned she thought we might make a good match I was suddenly uncomfortable around Jack. I couldn’t explain the shift in my attitude.

“I like some horror movies,” Jack replied. “I like older stuff, like The Shining, Halloween and The Exorcist.”

“I like those too.”

“I also like eighties slasher films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. I’m not a big fan of the newer stuff.”

“That’s because they’re not scary,” I offered. “Remakes are stupid, too.”

“Remakes are definitely stupid,” Jack agreed, shifting his feet closer to the fire. “Can I ask you something?”

“Are you suddenly turning into the question man or something?” I teased, amused.

Jack’s lips quirked, but he shook his head.
