Chapter 21

"The hermit emerges," Charlie quipped.

"We aren't all as social as you," Hudson retorted.

Sam gave him a long, speculative look, but not the eat shit and die glare he expected. So maybe Audrey hadn't said anything about the kiss. Considering the speed with which she was attempting to climb that ladder and get away from him, it looked like she was still embarrassed.

Ready to leap into action, he kept a sharp eye on her until she made it up to the first perch. Then he slipped into his own safety gear and went up after her. His greater height and reach gave him an advantage in catching up. Whereas Charlie and Sam went straight for the upper levels of the course, Audrey was being smart and starting with the easier obstacles. So at least her desire to get away from him wasn't overriding good sense.
