Luke's POV:

After we walked for a little while we ended up by a grove of trees that looked out on the water.

"Wanna climb up in that tree and sit there?" Em smiled.

"You know, any other person that would've heard you say that would say that you're insane to be so excited about that." I laughed and nodded up to the tree.

We climbed up on the limb and looked out onto the lake.

"Are you excited?" I asked Em.

"For?" She looked at me curiously.

"Nashville." I poked her stomach. She nodded and laid her head on my shoulder. "You've been doing this a lot lately." I said.

"Yeah. You're comfy." She laughed.

"Well you'll be able to sleep on me every night." I kissed her head.

"Until you become Mr. Superstar and are on the road all year long." She sighed.

"Hey, you'll be there every step of the way." I reassured her and grabbed her hand.

"I love you so much." She said, looking up at me.

"I love you too Em." I smiled and kissed her. Neither of us pulled away and we just enjoyed the moment.

"Luke before we fall out of this tree, let's get out of this tree." Em laughed, pulling away to rest her forehead on mine. I nodded and we climbed down slowly.

Before she could say anything, I pushed her up against the tree and kissed her slowly. Little laughs escaped her lips from the sudden gesture and she put her hands on both sides of my face.

"Is that Emilee Nelson I see?" I heard from a voice behind me. I pulled away and turned around to see a elderly man in a pair of blue jeans and a tshirt.

"Hi Mr. Berk." Emilee laughed, putting her hands in her pockets and looking down at the ground. Obviously embarrassed for being literally caught in the moment.

"The last time I saw you, you were jumping off ropes into lakes and now you're being pushed up against a tree by not only a nice lookin young man's hands, but probably his little general as well," the man, supposedly know as "Mr. Berk", laughed.

"Trust me sir I'm still jumping off ropes into lakes like I used to. This is just a little bit of a bonus." Emilee laughed and walked toward the man. I followed her along until we were standing in front of the man.

"Peter Berk. I uh. Own the campgrounds." The man stuck out his hand to shake.

I shook his hand and introduced myself, "Luke. It's a very nice campground. Thank you." I smiled.

"Looks like you've found yourself a nice young man here Emilee." Mr. Berk smiled and grabbed Emilee's left hand with both of his wrinkled hands. "I don't see a ring?"

"That's yet to come sir." I smiled. He nodded with a smile and kissed Emilee's hand. Em linked her arm with mine and leaned against me.

"Well y'all head back down to the campsite area of the campgrounds and spend some time with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson. Go any further and you'll be on private ground." Mr. Berk laughed. "It was good seeing you Emilee. Nice meeting you Luke. Take care of this pretty lady." He tipped his hat and went on his way.

"Ready to go back?" I asked Em. She nodded and hugged me.

"Can I piggyback ride down?" She laughed. I helped her up onto my back and we made our way down to the campsite.

Em's POV:

After dinner, we sat by the fire again and roasted marshmallows this time. Luke had his arms wrapped around me and held the stick for me. He let me eat the marshmallow every time too.

"Y'all should be getting to bed." Momma smiled. Maddie was dreary eyed. Her forehead was bandaged up with gauze and medical tape. She stood up and zombie walked to the tent. I got up off Luke's lap and we made our way to the tent. I put on my sweats again and laid down. Luke took longer to get ready for bed and lay down.

Finally he laid down next to me and pulled me super close. This felt so right. I sighed a happy sigh and leaned into Luke's embrace. I could feel his breathing against my neck.

"Go to sleep Em." He whispered in my ear.

"Goodnight." I said softly and closed my eyes.
