I ponder if he’s homosexual. He didn’t come, however he was aroused, clearly.

And what about Julie? Pondering of her brings a tragic smile to my face, her sweetness, her want for somebody to take care of her, however the very last thing I would like is to guide her on.

I’ve stayed away from her the final day, not desirous to be in a state of affairs the place she will be able to make one other go at me. I’ve taken Adam for drives and after we’ve been on the campsite, we’ve hung over the fence Rosie or I’ve inspired him to play with the opposite children. I’ve averted the kitchen and showers every time I believed there was an opportunity of working into candy Julie.

“I’m chilly.”

“Come right here, son.”

Awkwardly, I elevate Adam over the console and to my lap, hugging him tight.

I bounce in my seat as there’s a knock on my window. Adam screams and hides his face in opposition to my chest. I half anticipate Freddy Krueger to face exterior. It might be, coated inside a large raincoat.

I roll down my window, and a gust of wind covers my face with rain.

“Trev’r,” Adam squeals. “Is Rosie inside? She’s not on subject, is she?”

I can nearly make out Trevor’s eyes inside the large hood, and my cheeks warmth figuring out what we did yesterday.

“Rosie is within the barn, all heat and consuming hay,” Trevor assures my son, his deep timbre making my coronary heart beat sooner.

“C-can we go see her?”

“I’ve received a greater concept, why don’t the 2 of you come inside the home and keep there tonight?”

“No, you don’t have to supply up your individual house, Trevor,” I argue.

He factors his flashlight to our tent. It’s nearly utterly caved in. “You’ll be able to’t sleep there, you’re already moist and I don’t need you catching a chilly.”

“We shouldn’t…”

“Take into consideration your son,” Trevor insists, and he’s received me. Adam’s well being is extra essential than my delight.

It takes a very good ten minutes to assemble the luggage we’d like and get wellies on, ten minutes the place Trevor stands patiently ready for us within the howling rain. In fact, Adam doesn’t wish to stroll and I attempt to hoist him in my arms whereas carrying our luggage. Huge palms come round Adam’s center and elevate him out of my arms.

“Come right here, I’ll carry you.”

Adam doesn’t protest, holding on tight to the large man. All the best way right down to the home, Trevor calmly solutions Adam’s many questions on Rosie’s welfare. It does one thing to me, seeing my son within the arms of this mountain of a person. I do know Adam’s secure, and that’s a really uncommon feeling.

“Jamie! Adam!” Julie calls out after we enter the home.

The awkwardness of the state of affairs hits me. I’m in the identical room as each the lady who kissed me yesterday and the person I rubbed myself off on.

Julie could also be a bit flustered to see me, however Trevor pretends every thing is regular between us, so I do too.

“Their tent was about to sail down the sphere, in order that they’ll keep right here tonight.”

Trevor lowers Adam to the bottom whereas Julie’s eyebrows increase excessive.

“I instructed him he didn’t need to, we don’t wish to be a burden—”

“No, no, after all you’re not a burden,” Julie interrupts, shaking her head vigorously. Pink tints her cheeks and she or he smiles down at my son. “Do you want sleepovers?”

Trevor leads us upstairs, once more carrying Adam as soon as he’s out of his wellies and jacket. On the finish of the hall, he opens the door to a small room he calls “the little children” room. He tells us that is the place he and Julie slept after they have been little.

“Do you assume you would sleep in right here, Adam?” Adam puckers his lips and his eyebrows scrunch collectively as he takes within the small room. “In the event you look out the window, you’ll be able to see the barn the place Rosie is,” Trevor continues.

My son’s face brightens. “I’ll sleep right here.”
