Six years later . . .
“I hate Montana.”
Nolan rolled his eyes. “How can you say that when you’re standing in
front of that view?”
I gazed past the tree trunks to the lake on the other side of the forest. I
hated to admit it, but the view was rather stunning. The deep blue water had
a glassy sheen. The summer sunlight bounced off its gentle, rolling waves.
In the distance, the mountains still had white snowcaps. There was even a
bald eagle circling the shoreline across the bay.
But I wouldn’t give Nolan the satisfaction of admitting the truth.
“What is that smell?” My nostrils flared as I sucked in a long breath.
Nolan chuckled. “That would be earth. Dirt. Trees. Wind. Also known
as clean air. It’s what air is supposed to smell like without all the carbon
emissions.”
“Always with the sarcasm.”
“I save it all for you.” Nolan Fennessy, my friend and the CEO of my
family’s charitable foundation, loved to give me shit.
“Lucky me,” I deadpanned, turning away from Flathead Lake so he
wouldn’t see my grin. Then I scanned the camp, giving it a more thorough
inspection than the cursory glance I’d taken when we’d arrived ten minutes
ago.
Beneath the evergreens, six small log cabins were scattered throughout
the forest. Next to them was a building marked SHOWERS with a separate
wing for boys and girls. The main lodge sat at the back, closest to the road
and the gravel parking area. And as it was the hub for most camp activities,
the lodge was as big as the six cabins combined.
It was a child’s paradise.
In Nowhere, Montana.
Personal experience had tainted the state for me, but I couldn’t deny this
camp had a certain appeal. And it would be a perfect addition to the
Kendrick Foundation.
“Five million?” I asked Nolan, confirming the purchase price.
“Yes.” He turned away from the lake, stepping to my side. “The price
includes everything. Buildings. Furniture. Appliances. Though the bulk of
the value is in the land.”
“Okay.” I nodded. “I’ve seen enough. Let’s go.”
“Logan, we can’t go until we meet with the director and hear her pitch.”
At the mention of the director, a flash of long, blond hair caught my
eye. She came scurrying out of the lodge with a handful of pamphlets and a
manila folder tucked under her arm. I knew without seeing that it contained
the proposal she’d sent into the foundation three months ago.
“I don’t need to hear her pitch. I’ll approve the purchase and kick in
another fifty thousand for improvements.” I glanced at my Bulgari watch.
“It’s only two. Let’s say our hellos, give her the good news and head back
to the airport.” We’d be back in New York tonight.
Nolan chuckled. “As much as I’d like to sleep in my own bed tonight,
we can’t leave.”
“Why?”
He stepped past me—hand extended—ready to greet the director, then
smirked over his shoulder. “It’s rude.”
