“Hi!” Sawyer grabbed Preston’s hand, and even at this distance, I could see the squeeze he gave it.

“Something like that,” Preston said.

“Did you have the day off?” Sawyer asked. “We didn’t see you when we were here earlier.”

Preston slid his arm around Sawyer’s waist and pulled him close. “Yes. It was…interesting,” he said after a moment’s hesitation.

I raised an eyebrow but didn’t ask what he meant, even though I was dying to.

“Are we interrupting something?” Preston asked.

“Not unless stargazing and contemplating the meaning of life counts,” I said with half a smile and a shrug.

“In that case, would you like to join us for a walk?” Preston asked.
