Camping Proximity
Adam and Rena went on a camping trip over the weekend. The drive to the campsite was lovely and leisurely. There was no traffic, and plenty of beautiful scenery gliding past the windows. They chatted and listened to music during the drive. Adam was more enthusiastic about camping than Rena. She had needed a bit of persuading to join him on the trip, but now that they were at the campsite, she was starting to get excited about it.They parked, checked in at the rustic visitor’s center, and picked up a map of the campgrounds before heading over to their campsite. As they walked through the woods, they realized that the first cool fall weather of the season had made this a popular weekend for camping. The campground was quite crowded. Adam had been hoping to find a secluded area for them to set up the tent, but that proved impossible. Families, couples, and groups of friends were in abundance all around them.Adam and Rena gave up on finding a secluded space and set up their campsite in a shared clearing in the woods. They set up their tent with some laughter and fumbling. At this point, it was starting to get dark, and the two decided to make a fire and start dinner. Rena got the fire going - a skill from her Girl Scout days - while Adam prepared some food. He wrapped up a couple of potatoes in foil to roast in the fire, put some beans in a pot, and sliced up some fruit to ease their hunger while the food cooked. He grabbed two beers from the cooler, handed one to Rena, and they sat next to each other by the fire, enjoying the warmth and looking forward to a hot meal. Rena snacked on the sliced peaches. Adam could not help but notice the sweet juice dripping from her lips and her fingers as she enjoyed the fruit. He leaned over and kissed her, tasting the sweetness. Rena smiled at him and sipped her beer.“That was some kiss”, she thought, and hoped that there would be more of that later. Adam and Rena talked, occasionally checking on the potatoes, and greeted the other people who walked by. Eventually the potatoes were ready. In the chilly evening air, it felt delicious to have such a warm and filling meal. Adam cleaned up the dishes while Rena put out the fire. After their long day of sitting in the car and sitting by the fire, they were both feeling a little restless.Rena stood and walked over to Adam. Standing behind him, she put her arms around him and pressed her body against his. Adam took her hands in his. Rena suggested that they go for a walk before turning in for the night. Adam agreed. Holding hands, they strolled around the campground, taking in the sights of so many different groups of people doing camping things - sitting around fires, roasting marshmallows, smoking, playing guitar, laughing, and telling stories. It was lovely to be so far from their mundane lives. As they made their way back to the tent, Adam suddenly stopped walking. He leaned down and, in a low voice, said to Rena, “I think you should turn to your right. There’s something interesting I think you’ll want to see.” Curious, Rena turned to her right, and was greeted by an unexpected sight. A few yards away was a tent illuminated from the inside. The light in the tent revealed a woman on her back, her legs in the air, and a man on top of her.
