Somehow, when Alec said he would pack for me, I wasn't expecting this. I was thinking about a resort by the beach where we spent most of our time in bed and the rest in swimsuits.
Instead, I was staring at a tent with a mountain in the background. I rocked in my hiking boots as I zipped up my jacket and put on gloves.
"Tonight, we'll scope out the trail and stay here. Tomorrow, we climb that."
I stared up and up the sheer face of the massive cliff. My mouth went dry. I couldn't do this. I'd fall to my death. Worse. I wouldn't die. I'd live with every bone in my body broken.
"Alec, I have absolutely no experience doing whatever that is called."
"Rock climbing. And you can do this. You've built a lot of muscle at The Red Dragon. And I'll teach you how to climb."
"I'll fall."
"It won't happen. I've brought all the safety equipment you could possibly want."
"Including a defibrillator because if I see one snake, I'll die of fright."
