Kate didn't know why she had allowed Cooper to talk her into going on a hike. She wasn't the hiking type. She much preferred nice hotels, manicures and pedicures. But she found herself standing in the middle of the woods, crunchy leaves at her feet, and it wasn't so bad. It was hot and humid, but not so bad.

And the company was even better. All she could think about every time she went somewhere with Cooper was when was he going to make his move? When was he finally going to kiss her? And why wasn't she making the move herself?

Dating was difficult. She hadn't done it in a long time, and it hadn't gotten any easier. What were the rules, anyway? Why couldn't she just grab him, plant a big wet kiss on his lips and get it over with?

"You seem lost in thought," Cooper said, as they stopped to take a breather and a water break.

"No. Just enjoying the scenery and the company.”

He laughed. "You know, you wouldn't have said that about me a few weeks ago. You weren't my biggest fan when we first met."

"Well, let's be real. You were kind of a jerk."

"Agreed. Sometimes my wonderful personality comes off a little bit abrasive. I get that."

"And I don't think you liked me very much either," Kate said, taking a long drink of her water.

"You're wrong about that. I knew from the first time I met you that I liked you."

"Oh yeah? And why is that?"

"I think it was because you're so different than the other women around here. I love southern women, don't get me wrong. But there was an edge about you, and I felt like you could take me. I guess that's why I was testing you."

"Oh, you were testing me, were you?" she said, poking him in the chest.

"Maybe a little."

"Well, so far I think you passed the test pretty well. But if you get me lost in these woods, I'm going to have to take off quite a few points."

He chuckled. "Don't you worry, ma'am. I've never gotten lost in these woods. I know my way around them like the back of my hand. And that's why I wanted to bring you to this place."

She looked around. They were in a completely nondescript area of the woods, the trail barely visible below their feet. "I'm feeling kind of lost right now, Cooper. No offense, but this place isn't all that special."

“You haven't seen anything yet. Come on," he said, reaching out his hand. She loved when he held her hand. His was big and firm and a little bit rough. The few men she had dated in Rhode Island didn't have hands like that. Brandon's hands had been more feminine than hers, in fact.

They walked down a slight hill, and then took a turn down another trail. It felt like he was getting them more and more lost, and everything looked the same to her. Then she started hearing the sound of water.
