Chapter 64

“There’s a pond up ahead. Why don’t we head there for a snack?”

“Sounds good.” Noah followed Mason.

When they stepped through the trees, Noah’s eyes widened. “This is amazing.”

“Yeah.” Mason glanced around at the view in front of them and smiled.

Both men took in nature’s beauty for a minute. Then Mason turned around and found a log among the growth on the ground.

“The perfect seat.” Mason grabbed hold of one end, Noah held on to the other, and they dragged the wood toward the edge of the water and sat down. They both sat there for a few more minutes, gazing at the greenery reflected off the water filled with flowering lily pads, and listening to the frogs’ songs as they echoed through the air.

“Can we start the talk with you telling me what you think happened last night?” Mason asked.

“What I think?” Noah’s head flinched back slightly, his tone uncertain.

“I have my own theory that might be a little different,” Mason let him know.
