Midnight camping

Six months into our relationship, my boyfriend and I planned our first camping trip. On the day of, work called him back, and I ended up arriving at the campsite alone, soaking in the quiet solitude. As I relished the calm, my phone buzzed with his call. “Almost there,” he said, his voice warm with anticipation. When I mentioned the campsite was unusually quiet, his playful reply made my heart race: “Sounds perfect for some private time, just us.”
