The car stopped among the trees. The air smelled of pine and damp earth. Everyone got out to set up the tents.

Blake and Paige were getting the sleeping bags out. Dalton was looking for a flat spot to set everything up. Carly was laughing at something Wade said, but then Nick got out of the back seat, calmly closed the door, and stood next to you. He didn't say anything at first, just crossed his arms and looked out at the woods.

Wade glanced at him sideways and let out a dry laugh.
— What a surprise. I thought you'd stay in the car, and it's a miracle you're here.

Nick looked at him, without changing his expression.
— I didn't come for you. So save your comments.

"Oh, always so charming," said Wade.

Nick didn't even speak back. He just looked at you, more gently than a moment ago.

Are you okay? If you need anything, tell me. Don't go too far, baby.
