She cackled. “You might be right. Thank you for coming today.” She nodded at Amanda. “Great speaker.”

“Yes.” Amanda beamed. She and Kasey left the room. A crowd of students waited, holding their phones up as they took pictures of Kasey. “Looks like your fans can’t get enough.”

“Seems like no one can these days, which is why I’m leaving for the lake tonight. I’ll text you the GPS coordinates when I arrive.”

“Okay,” she said, without an ounce of excitement.

“Please try to contain your enthusiasm.” He chuckled and walked with her to her office.

Once there, she turned toward him. “Thanks again for doing this today.”

“You’re welcome. A deal’s a deal.”

Camping.Ugh.“Yes, it is.”

Chapter Eight

“What should I bringto go camping for a day?” Amanda asked Quinn as they walked into Amanda’s bedroom.

“I can’t believe you’ve never been camping.” Blonde hair happily bouncing around her head, Quinn resembled a beautiful angel as she sat on the blue comforter. The only other pieces of furniture were a white double dresser and a small nightstand.

“Well, you’ll only be there one day, you don’t need much.”

“I like to be prepared. I haven’t lived here during this time of year, and so far, the spring has been unpredictable. Some days it’s cold, other days it’s warm.”

“I agree. In Minneapolis, it’s still cold.”

“I’m thinking I need five outfits.”

“No.” Quinn laughed. “Wear layers you can put on and take off. Why are you so worried?”

“The unknown.”
