Chapter 190: Chloe

They started the adventure on a beautiful autumn Friday afternoon. The sun shone brightly overhead, lighting up the brilliant blue sky, but thankfully, the heat of summer had finally passed. The orange and brown leaves swirled down from the quaking aspen trees as they followed the curves of the mountain road.

Tommy was practically vibrating with excitement in the backseat of Dawson's Ford. Chloe could totally relate, unable to sit still herself. Her excitement had little to do with a day of hiking, fishing, or any other camping-related activities, though. It was just so damn nice to spend the weekend together as a family. She'd even asked Betty for Sunday off, so they could spend two nights out in the wilderness together.
