Chapter One

Charlie walked over towards Claire and started packing her clothes.

"What are you doing?" Claire asked.

"Packing your stuff," Charlie said. "You're moving to the caves."

"Impossible. You got peanut butter?" Claire questioned, smiling just enough to see her dimples.

"You wanted it, I got it." Charlie said while reaching into the bag and pulling out the jar.

"Um… Charlie, it's empty." Claire said with a look of confusion on her face.

"No, it's not empty. It's filled with rich, creamy, and delightfully sticky peanut butter," Charlie said, putting his finger into the jar and scooping up some of the "imaginary" peanut butter. "Mmm… so tasty. So delicious."

Claire walked over and sat on the sand. Charlie followed her and then sat down on the sand beside her. He looked over at Claire's resting body. He thought it was the beautiful thing he ever saw, considering that she was pregnant. He stretched his hand out that was holding the jar and asked if she wanted any.

"Sure." Claire said, moving her hand over toward the outstretched jar in Charlie's hand. For about a split second Claire had put her hand onto his, but then she let go and put her finger into the jar and scooped out some of the peanut butter and put it into her mouth. "Mmm… It is delicious."

They took turns putting their fingers into the jar until the sun had set and Claire had invited Charlie to stay at her tent for the night.

When they got to the tent Charlie gave Claire one of the best massages she'd ever had. His hands were soft and tender. It made her relax, and if he'd kept rubbing her back for a few more minutes she would have been asleep.

After the massage, as Charlie was about to drift off to sleep, Claire touched her lips to his. It was just a small light kiss, but very tender. About a minute after the kiss had ended, Charlie said, "Goodnight… Love." He was in shock from the events of the day.
