I was pleasantly surprised at how well Roxie was acclimating to life on the trail. Additionally, she and Luca weren’t making the guests feel uncomfortable or getting in the way. Tonight the team we were leading asked for some time alone, as they were going to use the evening to brainstorm some business ideas. I was shocked. The ride had been tiring. I was surprised they had the energy to discuss such heavy details.

Roxie and Luca went through some of the films they’d shot, and then Roxie chatted for a bit. Now everyone was fast asleep in sleeping bags scattered around the open area, and I sat alone with my thoughts. I knew that I had to get some sleep because my overactive imagination and mind were racing with a million details.

Roxie was part of about sixty percent or more of my thoughts. I had never been caught off guard by another human in my life. She was sexy as hell, caring, and honestly listened when you spoke to her. She didn’t have the blood-thirsty ruthlessness that I had come to imagine in reporters after my personal tragedy.

I could still remember the cameras, microphones in my face, and crying myself to sleep night after night. The extended family that had paraded me out for more interviews and their fifteen minutes of fame didn’t care about the scars digging deeper into my soul. Leaving that world behind was one of the easiest decisions of my life. So, finding myself letting someone with a camera back in – was shocking.

“Easton,” a worried little voice sounded behind me, causing me to spin toward the little alcove where Roxie had set up her tent for the night.

I moved slowly in that direction. The other group was clustered across the clearing, and Luca was off to the left, choosing a hammock situation. The man must have camped before because he had come prepared, and I gave him kudos for that effort. I found this group to be a unique combination and one of the more engaged, fun groups I’d traveled alongside in quite some time.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, drawing close to Roxie to see her face illuminated by the half-moon and remnants of the fire.

“There is something in that bag,’’ she said as she crouched next to her sleeping back.

She kept pointing to the bag, not exactly hysterical but headed in that direction. Though, for a city girl, I was giving her props for how calm she remained. I figured if it were something frightening, she would have woken the entire camp with her screaming by now.

“What do you mean?” I asked, staring at the bag. I didn’t immediately see any obvious movements of a larger critter. Maybe she was letting all those stories I told around the fire impact her more than they should.

“I think a snake,” she whispered.

I picked up the bag and flipped it up into the air. I was certain she imagined things until a little critter fell to the ground.
