touch.
    “What?”
    “I think they’re back.”
    “OK, are you feeling any better?”
    “Yes, I feel somewhat normal again.”
    “Me, too,” he says, stretching.
    I try not stare at his toned body that’s on display. “I’m sorry for the things I said this morning. Thanks for coming in here to check on me and for warming me up.” I start to giggle. “That sounded funny.”
    “It was my pleasure, chick. I’m sorry, too. I like you, Taylor, and I don’t want to argue.” He places his hand on my hip and leans over, planting a kiss on my cheek before he gets out of bed. It feels like something he’d do if I was his girlfriend.
    “Oh, have you had anything to eat or drink? I haven’t even had a drink of water since last night.”
    “No,” I reply.
    “You should go downstairs to get something, and I hope you’ll be social today,” he says with a frown before he goes out the door.
    I think he’s now unsure if he can trust me due to the cruel things I said this morning, and I can’t blame him. I want to trust him, too, but first we have to be able to get along for an extended period of time. I guess we’ll know by the end of this trip.

Partial Truths
    Dylan
    All my friends are hanging out in the great room when I get downstairs. “Back already, huh? I ask.
    “Uh, yeah. We figured we’d hang around here today since you two aren’t feeling well,” Cody replies.
    He seems nervous. I bet he figured out where I’ve been. “I feel a lot better now, but it took forever to warm up. Taylor said she’s finally feeling better, too. I was really worried about her throughout the night. She was showing early signs of hypothermia, but she finally came out of it. I should have made her go to the ER when the plow truck showed up.”
    “Sounds like your night sucked, man,” Austin says.
    “It was memorable. I’ll say that.” They’re all staring at me. Yep, they know I’ve been in Taylor’s room. “Please tell me you have food,” I say, walking to the kitchen. As soon as I make it there, I hear Taylor’s voice.
    “Are you feeling better?” Jasmine asks her.
    “Yes, finally. Thanks for asking.” Taylor walks into the kitchen, which is large and open. You can see into it from the great room and dining room. I fix a glass of water and hand it to her, gazing at her as she drinks it. I can feel our friends staring at us from the great room, and I can’t help but smirk.
    I don’t have any more of a clue than they do as to what’s going on between Taylor and me, but I find it funny knowing how curious they are. All I do know is I like her—a lot, and I can’t stop wanting to take care of her.
    “We had lunch while we were out, but we bought plenty of food, so eat whatever you want,” Hannah says.
    “Dylan, we’re going to play pool so come find us when you’re finished,” Austin adds as he and the guys leave the great room.
    Taylor and I fix sandwiches and chips on a plate and sit at a small table that has four chairs. There’s a long wooden table in the dining room, and from the look of it, it seats a ton of people. We never speak during lunch, but even in silence, I’m enjoying her company.
    I have to lower my head to hide my humor when I think about us getting along better in silence. It’s like when we sleep together. I guess it’s not funny. I want more than anything not to fight with this difficult woman. I finish first and get up from the table. Taylor and I exchange smiles before I go find my buddies.

 
    Taylor
    Dylan left me alone in the kitchen. I’m not surprised we didn’t speak during lunch. I’m sure he’s just as confused about what lies ahead, and he probably doesn’t want the guys making a big deal out of us getting along. It’s never been a secret that we don’t. I finish eating and sit with my friends.
    “Taylor, we can’t help but see that you and Dylan are getting along better,” Hannah says.
    “For the moment. It seems to vary hour to hour, but I guess you
