I watch them get into a paddle boat. They start making their way toward the little island that I was at earlier. I wonder if they are going to make love in the deep mass. I just can’t help the picture my mind conjures.
Once they are far enough me on the lake, the females start getting up, walling anvay from me toward their own mates. They must be so thankful at this moment for what they have
I’m glad when Cora finally gets back, relieving me of my babysitting duties.
“Thanks, Rya.” She looks so beautiful at the moment, her hair still wet from a swim. I can smell love on her skin.
*No problem. If you ever need to get out, I’m always watch her if I’m not busy,” I press a small little kiss to the pup’s forehead before handing her back to her mother. Walking away, I catch tallas staring before he quickly looks away.

It takes everything I have not to look at them. Instead, I watch Dallas start to strum his guitar. He smiles softly at me. Fingers nning along the steel strands, mourful music coming out the wooden belly. He makes the guitar sing I just can’t help but be hypnotized by the poetry. Firelight dances in his eyes.
