about a mile from here. It’s a little field with a pond. We sat on the tailgate and watched the sunset and then fell asleep. We forgot to set our alarms, so we missed breakfast.”
    Mrs. Jones presses her lips together. “There will be no funny business at this camp. I would have to be stupid to think none of the camp counselors would hit it off. That’s fine …”she says, uneasily. “However, there won’t be any sleeping outside of your own cabin at night. I won’t tolerate it.”
   Tanner nods. “Yes, ma’am. I promise it won’t happen again.”
       She turns to me, her short, gray bob moving with the motion. She lifts an eyebrow. “No, ma’am. It won’t happen again.”
       She nods. “Okay, well, we need to get to the next camp activity. You all have your schedules. Get ready. Tanner and Aubrey you’re taking a group of seven camping.” She narrows her eyes. “Behave.”
   Cassie snorts, which makes Eric snort. Mrs. Jones closes her eyes. “Get to your activities before I come to my senses and fire you all. Go.” She shoos us away with her hand.
       Everyone piles out of the room. Cassie wraps her hand around my elbow and pulls me out in front of Tanner.
       She presses me against the outside of the building. “Details. Now. I need them.”
       “Calm down. You sound like a horny housewife. We did just what Tanner said. We fell asleep.”
       Her face falls in disappointment. She holds her hand out to the side. “Nothing happened? You didn’t even kiss?”
       A smile forms on my face without me knowing it. She squeals. “Oh! You did. Tell me. Was it good? Can he kiss?”
       “Cassie,” I say, grabbing her shoulders. “If someone could fuck your mouth with their own, that’s exactly what he did.”
   She rolls her eyes back in her head and fans herself with her hand. “Oh, I knew it. He has those sexy lips.”
       He sure does.
       “Did you see Jake’s face when he grabbed your hand? I thought he was going to run over the re and break his fingers. Not that it looks like he can beat him up—I mean, look at Jake’s face.”
       I squirm. Even though I’m over Jake , and I’m no longer in love with him like I once was, I don’t want to see him hurt.
       I pull at the end of my shirt. “I know. I don’t want him to hurt, Cassie. I just want him to get over me.”
       Cassie nods and gives me a hug. “He’ll be fine. He’s a looker. He can get a girl. You’ve obviously seen him in action at the lake, right? Don’t feel sorry for him. That’s what he wants.”
       I’m nodding and glancing over her shoulder as she keeps talking. I scan over the counselors scattered around talking. Jake is leaning against a tree, eyes focused on me, with some blonde yapping in front of him.
       Then I see the gray eyes I stared into all last night. A grin crawls dangerously slow up his mouth. Cassie’s right. He does have sexy lips.
       “Hey,” Cassie says, snapping her fingers in front of my face.
       “Sorry,” I straighten my back. “Listening.”
       She rolls her eyes. “Right. I was asking if you wanted me to go back to the cabin with you while you shower.”
       “Is that a polite way of telling me I need a shower ?”
       She smiles. “Bingo. You smell like grass.” She gasp s. “Did you two make out on the ground?”
       I push her shoulder. “No. We made out in the back of his truck.”
       “Swoon.” She bats her eyelashes. “That is some sexy country shit right there.”
       Cassie waits outside the shower door while I get ready. She hasn’t stopped talking since we got here. I don’t mind. I just pretend to listen while I scrub my body. I imagine Tanner’s hands are still there, trailing over my skin, keeping me warm from the chilly night.
       When I’m finished we both head toward the cafeteria. I stuff myself, since I missed breakfast. We leave in thirty minutes for our trip. Eric slams his tray
