CHAPTER 13

***NOAH***

Noah woke to the smell of food, opened his eyes, and sat up in the chair, nearly dumping himself and his fishing pole into the lake in the process. Righting the chair, he got to his feet, reeled the pole in and set it on the bank, then followed the smell of food back to camp, his stomach growling loudly. Hailey was carrying the big frying pan with both hands when he crested the bank, a look of intense concentration on her face, and a wave of desire washed over him.

“Hey, something smells great,” he said when the skillet was safely off the fire. “What have you two been up to? I swear I smell biscuits.”

“And you would be right,” Hailey said, grinning at him. “Connor showed me how to bake them in the skillet. I hope they’re done all the way through.”

“I told her to take them off early since they keep cooking because the pan is still hot,” Connor said proudly. “I remembered you doing that.”

“And you were right,” he said, smiling at his son and ruffling his hair. “I smell something else besides biscuits, and it’s making my stomach growl.”

Hailey lifted the lid off the big pot and fanned the steam at him, “I made stew,” she announced. “And it’s not half bad, if I do say so myself.”

“Well, then, let’s eat,” he said. “It’s nice to have someone else do the cooking for a change. I’ll do the dishes when we’re done.”

The stew and biscuits disappeared quickly as the sun set behind the mountains, casting the little camp into darkness, but he added more wood to the fire, chasing away the shadows and the chill in the air. When everyone had their fill, he cleaned up, then joined Hailey and a sleepy Connor over by the fire. He let out a satisfied sigh before making himself comfortable with his back against the log.

It wasn’t long before Connor’s eyelids began to grow heavy, and he started yawning, “It looks like you should have taken a nap today, too,” he said, putting his arm around his son and pulling him closer. “We had a big day.”

“It was fun, though,” Connor said. “I wish we didn’t have to go home tomorrow.”

“Me too, but I’m afraid tomorrow is Monday, and they need me at the ranch,” he said. “We’ll make time to come up here again, I promise.”

“And Hailey can come too,” Connor said, then yawned. “She has to come.”

“We’ll have to see about that,” he said, looking over at Hailey. “She might have other things she wants to do.”

Connor didn’t answer because he was sound asleep, a little smile on his face, “Well, I guess I should put him to bed,” he said. “Poor guy, he’s exhausted.”

When he came back, Hailey had added more wood to the fire and poured him a cup of coffee, “I fixed it the way you like it, just a little milk and sugar,” she said, handing it to him. “I figured you probably weren’t ready for bed after that nap you had this afternoon.
