"I'll go over there and gather wood."
Evelyn Ford glanced at the bare, rocky mounds around them and started pulling logs from her bag.
Flynn Hansen stared at her, numb and dazed. Ryan Rowe, on the other hand, was quick to act, gathering the wood to start the fire.

Flynn Hansen didn't stand on ceremony any longer. "I'm fine with anything."
