Lucas was waiting for me on the sectional when I finished my shower. He had our favorite blanket from when we sat at the lake resting on his lap. I raised my eyebrow at him and said, “Oh no, sir. I didn’t sign up to sit out in the woods and commune with nature.”

“Relax.” He laughed and grabbed one of my hands when he approached me. “You trust me, yeah?”

“I do,” I answered with no hesitation. It still surprised me the level of trust I had in him, especially after what Devin did to me. Devin had no place in this moment, so I pushed any thoughts of him away.

“Good. I won’t put you in any danger.” He pecked me on my lips and drew me to the back door.

When we got outside, I thought he would drop my hand. He didn’t. He threaded his fingers in mine and led me to a break in the woods I hadn’t noticed before. Then again, I didn’t spend any time at the back of the house. The path was well-worn as if many feet had traversed it to get to wherever he was leading me. The trees weren’t exactly spaced out, but they didn’t look too close together, making me feel less afraid to be in the woods.

We walked for about five minutes in comfortable silence. It felt good simply being with him, even if we were in the woods, hiking to some unknown location. Up ahead, I saw a clearing and then, after moving past a few long hanging branches, we were in a meadow. It was a beautiful meadow dotted with colorful flowers that weren’t overgrown or too wild. It was like something out of a movie. Lucas heard my sharp intake of breath and looked over at me. “It’s nice, right?”

“It is. I wish I would have known it was here when I first arrived.”

“Our parents used to bring us back here when we came during the summer. We’ve had this cabin for a long time, back before any other cabin was built. We used to enjoy coming out, having lunch, and watching Cassie run around on her little chubby legs when she was younger. No matter how busy they were trying to build their brands, they set aside time for us and spent as much quality time with us and each other as they could.” He pulled me toward the middle of the meadow to a spot that seemed to have been naturally cleared. “We used to sit here when we ate. The grass never grew much in this spot, so my parents always said it was like the meadow wanted us to enjoy her beauty.”

It seemed apt. It was the perfect spot to sit and enjoy being in the elements. I’m not big on nature, but this is one place I would have enjoyed visiting to get to know myself. Lucas spread the blanket on the ground, sat, and reached his hand out to me. I grabbed it, and he pulled me down to him, my back to his chest.
