When she opened the door to the cabin, she looked first to the fire and then to the couch, where Kayden was still curled up. He looked as if he was almost asleep, but his head popped up when he heard her.

“You’re back.” His voice was so eager, Lisa’s heart melted a little.

“I told you I was just going outside. And look who I found out there.” She stepped aside to reveal Jason, who was still in the doorway.

“Uncle Jason.” Kayden leapt off the couch and ran to his uncle, who picked him up and wrapped him in his arms.

“Hey, buddy. I heard you were a bit clumsy today.”

Kayden nodded. “I slipped. But it’s okay because we got to come up to this super cool cabin and we couldn’t have come if I didn’t.”

Jason put him down and tried to look stern. “Maybe,” he said. “But your mom is going to go crazy with worry. We should call them.”

“Oh,” Lisa said. “I don’t have a radio.”

Jason pulled one from his pocket. “I do. They gave me one when I insisted on going out on the bike alone. They wanted to send me with the outdoor guy—”

“Bo.”

“Yeah. Bo. But I kind of insisted I wanted to be alone.” He shrugged casually, but by the look of him, and the cut over his eyebrow that looked like it would leave a bruise, Lisa was pretty sure there was a reason he wanted to be alone. “So I guess it all worked out,” Jason finished.

Kayden cheered and Lisa tried to ignore the way her stomach flipped. “Probably a good idea.” She reached out for the radio. “I’ll go in the other room and check in. I suppose you’ll be staying then?”

“Staying?”

Jason left Kayden on the couch and moved to the back of the small space where Lisa stood.

“We’ll have to stay the night.” Lisa felt suddenly claustrophobic by his large presence in the cabin. “I found a bit of food for dinner and we’ll—”

“We can’t stay.”

Lisa swallowed her disappointment that he wanted to go. “Well, we can’t leave.” She put her hands on her hips and stood up straight. “It’s going to be dark soon and Kayden’s clothes aren’t dry. We’re staying.”

“His mother will flip out.” Jason shook his head. “I love the mountains, and I’m always up for an adventure.” Had he just raised his eyebrow at her? Lisa tried to keep her face neutral. “But Jennifer thinks the mountains are full of danger. She’ll lose it if Kayden stays up here.”

“There’s no other choice.” Lisa tried to take a step back, needing distance between them. “I’ll try to explain it to her.”

“I don’t—”

“Can we stay, Uncle Jason?”

They both swung around to the voice.

“It’s fun here. And Mom won’t mind. Not if you’re here.”

Jason turned and looked at Lisa again. Knowing she’d won, she tried not to smile.

She failed.
