The sun has fully set, but the sky isn’t dark yet. I turn on the RV’s porch light, Claire helps me set up the table and we sit down for dinner.

“Mmmm! Delicious!” Claire comments as soon as she swallows a bite of the trout. “Are you a chef or something?”

“No. I just like to cook.” I’m not lying. Cooking is one of the few things that take the stress out of me.

“Wow. I don’t know that many guys that cook well,” she says. “My ex-boyfriend couldn’t cook at all. Not even boiling pasta.”

Ex? Right. She told me she hadn’t been laid for a while. But I’m still not sure she is single. “What about your current boyfriend?”

She gulps down some wine and smirks. “I wouldn’t be here if I got one.”

“Just making sure,” I say with flushed cheeks. “I find it incredible that a beautiful woman like you is available.”

“Aww,” she coos and reaches across the table to hold my hand. “You’re a sweet man, Dan. And same here. I don’t understand why you’re alone.”

“I’m recently divorced.” I go on and tell Claire a summary of my story, making it as light as possible because I don’t want it to ruin the lovely evening.

Claire listens intently, looking sympathetic. “I’m so sorry but I think your ex-wife is a fool to leave you.”

I chuckle. “Thank you. But it’s fine. We’ve had some good times. Besides, the divorce inspired me to seek adventure. I wouldn’t be here at the moment if it weren’t for that.”

She grins. “I like your spirit.”

“Thanks but it took me a while to get back on my feet. I was down in the dumps for nearly a year.”

“I know how you must’ve felt. When my ex left me, I thought the world ended and…” She stops mid-sentence. “Never mind I don’t want to talk about the jerk.”

Although I’m curious, I don’t press her to tell me more about her past. Instead, I urge her to have more trout.

As she’s consuming another piece of the fish, Oliver jumps onto her lap causing her to squeal and then giggle.

Shit. That rascal has been hovering around Claire throughout dinner, begging for attention. Claire pats him once in a while but it isn't enough for him.

“Off, Oliver!” I hiss at him, but he ignores me.

“It’s okay,” Claire says while stroking the dog. “I like animals.”

Damn. “Did you grow up on a farm?” I ask, recalling that she works for her sister’s farm.

“No!” she says after swallowing a bite. “Neither did my sister Lizzie. We grew up in Houston. Her late husband John and his brother purchased the dairy farm ten years ago, and then John passed away five years ago. She was struggling with managing the farm and taking care of her stepdaughter. So I quit my job in Houston and moved there to help her out.”

“I see. That’s nice of you.”

She shrugs. “She’s my only family and I was all alone. Besides, I really love living on a farm. The air is cleaner and it’s so quiet.
