along in front of her on one of the many forest trails.
It was considerably cool under the cover of the tall pine trees in the forest; Ashley untied her hoodie from her waist and slipped it on immediately appreciating its warm embrace around her body. She loved the way the sunlight filtered through the trees, but wished it could be slightly warmer in the forest.
They were heading toward the Lochsa River, which winds its way through the forest. Parts of the river were fast flowing with the water cascading over boulders and tumbling down waterfalls, these parts were way to fierce for Ruby, but both Ashley and Ruby knew of little areas along the river where the water calmed and almost came to a standstill.
These little pockets of tranquility were ideal places for Ruby to safely paddle her paws or have a safe dip if she were feeling brave.
Her mom always worried about Ashley in the forest due to the diverse array of wildlife living there. Black bear frequented the forest, as did cougars, gray wolves, moose and many varieties of smaller animals. Ashley had been taught from an early age that any of the animals can kill but will rarely attack unless threatened or startled, so she always ensured she kept to the trails and whistled to Ruby every now and again to make her presence known.
“Come on girl,” she called and within minutes Ruby was at her side. They made their way along the trail until they came to a fork in the path, Ashley pondered for a minute while Ruby ran on ahead choosing the right fork.
Ashley dutifully followed her dog, truth be known she didn’t mind which path they followed. She knew this one took them away from the river and toward the big houses on ‘Whites Creek Road,’ Ashley always enjoyed admiring the houses. She kept away from the first property though as the family living there were not exactly the sociable type.
Ashley made her way along the path ducking down occasionally to miss some of the lower branches on the trees. She’d lost sight of Ruby, but could hear her barking in the distance. Ashley sped up concerned about her dog, as it was unusual for her to bark at nothing. She’s probably just barking at a stick Ashley told herself, but she still quickened her pace.
Chapter 2
Ashley followed the sound of Ruby’s barking, “Ruby, come on girl,” Ashley called with a worried pitch to her voice.
Ruby had gone quiet now, which Ashley wasn’t quite sure how to interpret. Did this mean she was quiet because she was hurt, or quiet because she’d found something more interesting than barking to occupy her mind?
Ashley walked by the sign swinging in the light breeze stating that she was now on ‘Whites Creek Road.’ The first property was by far the nicest, even though the residents weren’t it easily had 4-5 bedrooms with stunning land surrounding it and the views must be spectacular. Technically you weren’t supposed to be in the area unless you were a resident or visiting one of the houses, but it didn’t even occur to her that she might be trespassing.
Movement by the house caught Ashley’s eye, “Oh you’ve got to be kidding me,” she mumbled as she continued toward the property. The movement she’d spotted was Ruby. Her beloved pooch had ended up in front of the best house up here, unbelievable! Ashley marched down the path leading to the house and there, crouched down with Ruby was a young man.
Ashley’s gaze had now moved completely from Ruby toward the gorgeous man petting her. He looked to be in his early thirties with blonde hair tied back in a low ponytail and from what she could see from his position he had an athletic build.
“Sorry, Ruby here girl,” she apologized as she grew closer, and as she spoke he stood up and turned to face her. Ashley could see she was right with her guess about his athletic build; he was about 6’1” and wearing a tight t-shirt and reasonably tight blue jeans. His
