Em's POV:

I woke up to Luke stroking my hair from my forehead to the back of my head. I smiled at him.

"That feels so good." I whispered. He rested his hand on the back of my head and brought my head up to kiss him. I kissed him on the lips. My mouth lingered on his for a few seconds before we heard a pop from outside the tent.

I sat up and went to get out of tent to see what happened.

"Just a spark from the fire." Daddy smiled. I nodded and went back into the tent and laid down next to Luke. I laid on my stomach and he rubbed my back.

We sat there for a good 10 minutes before anyone said a word. By now I was half asleep.

"Are you tired?" Luke whispered. I nodded and covered me up with more blankets and laid down next to me again. He wrapped his arms around me tighter than ever and pulled me close. I closed my eyes and relaxed in the comfort of his arms. Sooner or later I fell back asleep, and I'm pretty sure Luke did too.

Luke's POV:

After Em woke back up we got out of the tent and sat down by the fire. Maddie, and Mr. and.  Mrs. Nelson were already by the fire and eating breakfast.

Em sat down and covered herself with a blanket. I went and got the two of us breakfast while she warmed up by the fire.

I gave her the plate of food and kissed the top of her head before sitting down myself. Emilee was already digging into her food before I even started.

"What time are we leaving?" Maddie asked.

"Probably around 11 or 12 if not earlier. The drive back is gonna be longer than it was up. We're taking a different route." Daddy told us. I yawned and closed my eyes.

Everyone was finished eating and they all began to pack up their stuff. I had already packed my bag. There wasn't much in it to pack, but it was done. Maddie and Luke packed up all their stuff and piled it in the truck. Momma and Daddy did the same. Luke began to take our tent down and daddy took his tent down.

I looked back to see Luke struggling with the tent, but he eventually got it.

"Look at my man takin down the tent. He wasn't even a Boy Scout. " I thought to myself. He caught me staring at him and I laughed.

"Wanna get your ass over here and help me? Or are you just gonna sit there laughing?" Luke shifted his weight to one leg.

"I'm good right here." I smiled. He shook his head and went back to working on taking the tent down.

Maddie sat down in the seat next to me and stared at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Has he proposed yet?" Maddie asked, quite seriously.

"what?" I laughed. "Do you see a ring?"

"No, but I figured he doesn't have the money to buy a ring and he's just waiting to make some money to buy one."

"No. He hasn't proposed. What makes you think he is going to?" I asked her.

"Um. What makes you think he's not going to?" She looked at me like I was crazy.

"I don't know."

"Well. Everyone can tell he loves you and everyone can tell that you love him." Maddie smiled. "I even talked about it with Mrs. Bryan."

"Are you kidding?" I laughed. She shook her head.

"She came over for dinner the week you and Luke were in Louisiana and she, mama, and I had a whole conversation about it." Maddie smirked.

"So you're in on my love life too huh?"

Maddie nodded and I turned my head to see Luke waltzing over to the truck, carrying a packed up tent.

"Good job Luke." I laughed. He turned around and gave me the stink eye.

"I'd like to see you being the one to have done it." He said cockily.

"Okay." I smirked. He rolls his eyes and put the tent in the truck.

The campsite was pretty much packed up except for the chairs Maddie and I were sitting on.

"Load up!" My daddy shouted. I bolted up from the chair and stuck it in the truck bed and got in the truck. Maddie got in, momma and daddy got in, and Luke got in after tying everything in the truck down. I leaned my head on his shoulder again and tried to go back to sleep.

"Hey babe, you've been really tired lately. You okay?" Luke whispered in my ear.

"Yeah I think so." I rubbed my eyes.

"Okay." He said and kissed the top of my head. I fell asleep within minutes and tried to sleep for the rest of the ride.

Luke's POV:

Emilee was fast asleep since the beginning of the drive. Mr. Nelson stopped the truck in a small town to get a few cokes.

"This place didn't have any of the glass bottles so..." He said, getting back in the truck.

I took one and took a long drink of it. Refreshing.

Mr. Nelson started the truck again and Em started to wake up.

"Hey." I smiled and kissed her.

"Can I have some?" She asked, pointing at my coke. I handed her the bottle and she swallowed down almost have of it.

"Hey piggy. Can I have that back please?" I laughed. She glared at me and screwed the top back onto the bottle.

The drive home continued and Em surprisingly stayed awake.
