I almost don’t send it, because I don’t want him thinking we can bond over Nerds Clusters, but I also don’t want to be trapped in a cabin with him chewing on his own bag that I’ll have to share. The text was a risk I was willing to take.

Wilder: You like Nerds Clusters too?

God, I knew he’d be excited about that. Why do I feel like I know him already? I need to ask Mika about his brother, because they’re nothing alike. Mika is more jaded, rough around the edges, can be flamboyant at times but not so much that it’s blatantly obvious. He tends to look at the glass as half-empty most of the time and rarely has a positive outlook on life.

Whereas Wilder, he seems to have his rose-colored glasses on at all times.

Scottie: I do, and please don’t make this a thing between us. The only reason I said something is because I can search those out like a hound dog, and I’d rather not have one of my cabinmates see me hunched over on my bed, shoving cluster after cluster into my mouth.

Wilder: Cabinmates? Pips, you have one cabinmate, and it’s me.

I pause, reading his text. Uh, is he sure about that?

Scottie: What do you mean it’s you? I’m not sharing a cabin with the other wives? You know, like in a real summer camp?

Wilder: No. Didn’t you look at the brochure?

Scottie: Uh no, I just snatched one, hoping you wouldn’t grow attached to the idea of going. Boy, was I wrong.

Wilder: You should have looked at it. Of course it has the adult summer camp vibes, but each couple gets their own cabin… We’re going to have to share a bed.

I stare at the words, over and over again.

Share a bed.

With a stranger?

With a man I know nothing about?

I mean, what if…what if he snores? What if he, oh God, what if he’s one of those guys that gets wet dreams all the time?

Gasp, what if he sleeps naked?

Scottie: PAJAMAS! Get yourself pajamas! I refuse to sleep with a naked man. Actually, while you’re at Target, get an air mattress and extra blankets, because one of us is sleeping on it.

Wilder: You nervous to sleep with me?

Scottie: Uh, yeah!

Wilder: Why?

Why?

Seriously, has this man ever been in the likeness of society? He seems so oblivious to the most obvious things.

Scottie: Uh hello, I don’t know you. I don’t know if you’re going to roll over at one point and breathe your hot breath on me.

Wilder: Who’s to say I have hot breath?

Scottie: Everyone has hot breath in the morning. Also…are you a wet dream guy?
