Will texted Hazel to let her know he would be home around six so she got started on dinner at 5:30. She settled on a chicken and pasta bake. Since there were only two of them, they would be able to eat the leftovers for lunch for a few days.
She used to do this sort of thing cooking for Billy when they were roommates. She would cook a few big meals early in the week and they would spend the rest of the week working their way through leftovers.
When Will walked through the front door the first thing he said was, "I'm glad you didn't get lost in the woods."
What was it with this guy and thinking she would get lost in the woods?! Just because she was inexperienced in mountain life didn't mean she was stupid enough to wander off the path on her own.
Hazel scowled. "I'm not an idiot."
"I didn't say you were. I thought you might be interested in looking around to paint and accidentally wander off the path in search of the best scenery."
