Nathan climbed down first so he could help her. “Just back down slowly! Right into my arms!”

Elizabeth realized she wasn’t afraid of falling, knowing Nathan would catch her. Besides, the trip went a lot smoother going down than it had going up. Especially without those imaginary wasps to chase her. She had only gone a few feet when she felt his sturdy hands around her waist.

“I’ve got ya!” he said. “Nice and easy now. You’re good.”

He lowered her gently to the ground, and once her feet met solid earth, Elizabeth knew she was better than good. Things were absolutely terrific. She could feel him standing behind her, his hands still around her waist as if he regretted the thought of letting her go. He turned her toward him, still holding her in his arms. “How are you doing?”

“Great,” she said, nearly breathless. “How about you?”

“Elizabeth, I know this sounds crazy, but I…” He tugged her closer, and she didn’t resist. His warmth felt good up against her, tantalizing.

“I know,” she said, gazing up at him. “I feel it too.”

“You know that thing that you said? About a once in a lifetime moment…?”

She nodded as his mouth moved in.

“I think we’re having one of those now.”

He lowered his mouth toward hers, and she sighed into his kiss, his lips meeting hers with a tender passion. Elizabeth wound her arms around him, and he held her close as he deepened his kisses and they became lost in one another. Elizabeth felt like a woman who’d been wandering in the woods forever. In Nathan’s embrace, she was finally finding her way home.

She heard a sharp buzzing sound and snapped her eyes open, the spell suddenly broken.

“What is it?” he asked.

“A wasp!” she cried with alarm. “Buzzing by your shoulder!”

Nathan quickly coiled the rope and packed it away. “We’d better get going. Maybe there is a nest around here!”

Elizabeth nodded her agreement, and he took her hand, leading her into the forest. This was by far the grandest adventure Elizabeth had ever had. And it wasn’t over yet.
