... discuss the previous calamity they shared. The sad part is that they probably easily could have, but both were far too proud to take that road. Sam was lost in her own head, knowing Nate wasn't wrong about her feelings for Freddie, and that she was still hung up on him even if he was getting married. But at the same time, when she and Nate were together, she at least felt happy. He was fun and different, and he treated her well and she didn't constantly feel the need to test him or dominate. She was just there, and that worked for her. But that was a couple years ago now, and she knew there was no going back. Nate also felt bad about what he had said, knowing Sam had a point about his change in demeanour. He wasn't proud to be the person he was anymore and he shouldn't have taken his bitterness out on Sam since none of what tore them apart was really her fault.

"You deserve a good guy. One that will love you and treat you right, and you just won't let yourself do that. To be happy." "Nathan," she said in her best impression of the Texan, "why do you think that is? The last guy that seemed to care about me and treated me right just dumped me out of the blue to chase after another girl." "I'm just saying. I might be lost to whatever magic that girl has on me, but you don't have to. You can-" Nate was stopped short as he noticed a thick rope coming out of the water up ahead. Sam waited for the rest of his sentence but it never came as he moved past her towards the rope that was leading up through the forest. The large young man kept his hands on the rope and followed it through the woods, keeping Sam right at his back. "What is it?" she asked, peering at the rope and what it might be connected to that was this convoluted. "I don't know…" he whispered, as the rope led to a tree where it was wrapped all around it.
