Fiona

Two hours later…

Cade is already out of the truck and opening the door behind him to take our bags out of the backseat, but I haven't moved enough to unhook my seatbelt. My eyes are locked in front of me, and my mouth hangs open slightly. The door slams and Cade appears at the open window beside me.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

"Sitting here until you get back in the car and bring us to our actual destination," I say.

He laughs and opens the door. I was leaning against it enough that I tip to the side and brush against him. I reluctantly pull away to sit up straight but don’t make any moves to release my belt.

"Come on," he says. "This is where we're going."

"This may be where you're going, but I'm waiting for something with a bed and walls."

"If you hurry up and get out, we'll get the tents set up and then you'll have both."

His grin gives me a momentary glimpse into the first summers we spent together as he makes his way toward the back of the truck. I sit in place, staring through the windshield at the weaving dirt path leading into the woods ahead of me for a few more seconds before I come to terms with the fact that Cade isn't kidding. This was actually his plan. He seriously formulated the concept of camping in his mind and thought it was a fantastic idea.

Damn it all to s'mores.

Unlocking my seatbelt with the biggest sigh I can manage, I climb out of the truck and walk toward him.

"I thought we talked about the 'woe is me' thing," he says.

"No, we talked about the complaining about being at Grammie's house thing. You didn't include a camping clause in that."

Cade releases a lock on the side of the hardback cover over the bed and removes it. A selection of camping equipment nearly fills the space.

"Fine, but that was your last sigh. You're going to pass the fuck out if you keep doing that. Where's the Fiona I used to know? You used to love camping and the outdoors."

He reaches into the bed and pulls out a package I recognize as a tent.

"I was a teenager, and I had nothing to do with putting the camp together. You and Gramps did all that. I sat by the fire with Grammie and drank hot chocolate and ate marshmallows."

"I'm sure you can handle it," he says. "As soon as we get camp set up, you'll remember how much fun we used to have."

I grab one of the sleeping bags and yank it up over the side of the bed.

"When did you have the time to pack all this in the truck, anyway?"

Cade drops the tent and pulls out another.

"When you were debating how much of your makeup you should bring with you."

"Well, all that has gone right to hell, hasn't it? I somehow doubt there's going to be a lighted mirror mounted on a tree out here anywhere."

"You never know," Cade says.
