At this point in time, I was walking toward this log cabin prepared for us—where we also parked our vehicles—but to my surprise, Kaley was waiting by the porch with a dimly lit lantern and what seemed to be a mosquito coil that almost burned itself from its little metal stand it usually came with.
Once our eyes met, the solemn expression I was wearing was completely melted by the bright smile she let out as she waved me over, motioning for me to sit beside her so we could at least have someone to bear the cold with.
I gave her a kiss before I put my arm above her shoulders, "Have you been waiting all this time? Shouldn't you be more comfortable inside?"
She shook her head and chuckled before she scooted even closer, "I am and I would be but I needed some alone time to think. I— You— We handled things "appropriately" but that doesn't mean we could just function like normal, right?"
