“Camper,” he corrected.

“Whatever. A camper.” I looked around. “With the loft area upstairs, there's more than enough room to throw down some air mattresses or sleeping bags. We have a golf cart. A pool. Access to a lake. The kids will love it.”

“Uh, until we tell them you found a dead body here and that we were nearly burned to death by a crazy real estate agent.”

I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. “So let's just tell them about the good parts.”

His arms snaked around my waist. “Which were?”

I thought about our week. We'd definitely had our share of misadventures. Telling the kids about finding a dead body in the woods and almost being burned to death would probably not go over well with them. I imagined their reactions and fought back a smile.

“We'll come up with a few,” I told him. “On the way home.”
