explore his exposed skin with her hands, but she kept them at her side.
“Where are we going?”
Dylan motioned with his finger for Summer to follow, and guided her over to his parked truck. He had his dad’s miniature camper attached to the back.
“What is all this?” asked Summer.
“We’re headed to the mountains! I know the best campground out that way. Are you in?”
Summer suddenly realized just how hard she was falling for Dylan. She had never before met someone so kind and beautiful inside and out.
“I’m in!” she exclaimed. But what about the animals in the morning?”
He pulled her hands and led her to the passenger side of his truck, opening the door for her.
“Don’t worry about them. My buddy Derek said he’d stop over first thing in the morning and take care of them for me this one time. He owes me anyway after I painted his barn last spring. Now, let’s go.”
Summer hopped into the truck and they pulled away from the property, driving down the desolate road together.

“You ever seen the Rockies up close?” asked Dylan.
He reached for Summer’s hand and gently played with her thumb.
“No, I haven’t. Iowa is flat. I’ve never seen any mountains before.”
“Sounds like your old life needed some color.”
She looked down at her hand as Dylan was touching it.
“Tell me about it.”
The drive down the road eventually led to the mountains appearing larger as they neared them. Summer was thrilled to be alone with Dylan, taking on an adventure together.
She watched him as he drove with his windows rolled down, singing loudly and happily along to a Johnny Cash song. How carefree and remarkable he seemed to her, someone she felt so grateful to have met him. It was as if she’d known him for several years.
The three-hour drive didn’t seem as long as it actually was. Dylan pulled the truck into a campground and they parked along the mountains. He hopped out of his seat and ran over to her side, helping her down from the truck.
“Take a look, Summer. Isn’t it beautiful out here?”
Summer allowed her eyes to adjust to the beauty in front of her. Mountains as far as she could see, some green and some still snowcapped. Jagged and majestic and intimidating. She was in awe.
Dylan chuckled.
“Your lack of words is telling me you’re enjoying it, at least I hope.”
She collected her words enough to choke out, “This is amazing.”
Dylan began unhooking the trailer from his truck and fixing up the inside.
“I don’t think my dad has used this thing for a couple of years. I need to make sure it looks okay inside… and make sure it doesn’t smell.”
Summer laughed and Dylan vanished inside the trailer. She took a step farther away from the campsite, staring at the mountains and realizing all she had yet to experience. There was still so much excitement ahead of her, and the unknown was suddenly attractive.
They spent the day on a hike, discussing their parents and friends and worries. Summer explained how dull she had felt the past few years. People in the town she’d grown up in barely leave.
“I know people like that,” said Dylan. “It’s like they don’t know they’re missing so much.”
“Agreed.”
They returned to the campsite right before dusk and a few stars were beginning to poke through the velvet sky.
“I’ll start a fire,” said Dylan.
“You go get comfortable inside and I’ll take care of everything.”
Summer went inside the trailer for the first time to change into a sweatshirt and saw that Dylan had prepared the bed and kitchen area already. Everything looked so tidy and cozy.
She checked herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and returned to Dylan outside. He had a fire going already.
“That was fast,” Summer noted.
Dylan looked up at her and pointed to his truck.
