"Okay, so we're on our way to this cabin, and | think | might be ready." | shot the text off to Laura, who replied in
less than a minute.
"I need you to sendthe address. | know you like him, but still -he's a ghost on social media. | can't find him.
Who doesn't have social media?" Laura replied, and | rolled my eyes. Eric heardand turned toin the car
as we got onto a dirt road. "What's wrong, babe?" he asked.
"Laura doesn't trust you and wants the address of your cabin," | confessed. Eric laughed.
"Sure. Tell her it's on the outskirts of the Yosemite Nature Reserve. If she's looking for you, there are only four
cabins there, and one belongs to me. Any ranger would be able to guide her-there's no actual address," Eric said
casually. "It's fine; I'll just drop her a location when we get there." Eric smiled at me, showing off those adorable

"I'll send you a location the minute we get there! Promise! Here to scratch that itch!" | responded to Laura.
"You go, girl! Also-senda picture of this man already! Enjoy every second (or inch)!" Laura replied, and heat
crept up my cheeks the moment | read it.
"What'd she say? You're blushing," Eric said with a smirk, and | shook my head.
"Nothing you need to know about." | replied, my voice a tad too high, and Eric laughed.
As we pulled up to the cabin, a wave of warmth washed over me, contrasting the chill of the outside air. The
cabin was nestled among towering pines, each tree draped in fresh, powdery snow layers. It looked like
something out of a postcard - cozy and inviting, with smoke curling lazily from the chimney. My heart raced at
the thought of spending the weekend here with Eric.
He parked the car, and while he focused on navigating the snow-covered road, | couldn't resist the impulse to
capture this moment. | quickly pulled out my phone, angling it just right so I could snap a picture of him behind
the wheel, the steering wheel framed by his strong hands.
