MY EX, NOW MINE

The air was cool and crisp as Emiliana stepped off the bus and took in her surroundings.The journey took up to 5 hours and thankfully, all of that was over. She set her luggage down and did a quick stretch, cracking her waist left and right.She looked around and her eyes were pleased with the environment. She was surrounded by towering pines that rustled in the gentle breeze. The sound of a nearby creek trickled through the forest, and the smell of wood smoke hung in the air.Emiliana wore a simple blue tank top, white shorts, and a pair of Jordan sneakers, ready for a summer of outdoor adventure. As she made her way toward the check-in desk, she felt a familiar presence. She turned her head and saw him.Him? Wait, him?!She looked at the figure approaching her with surprise all over her face.Jace stood tall and confident, with a charming smile on his face. He wore a black fitted t-shirt that showed off his toned biceps, a pair of red athletic shorts, and a rugged backpack slung ov

Emiliana and Jace set off on a nature walk, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. The sun is shining down on them, casting a warm glow across their faces as they explore the woods together. They chat and laugh as they walk, their conversation flowing easily between them.As they walk deeper into the woods, Emiliana feels a sense of adventure that she hasn't felt in years. She's always been a bit of a daredevil, and being in the great outdoors always brings out the best in her. She jumps over fallen branches and climbs up steep hills, feeling alive and free.Jace seems to be having just as much fun as she is. He matches her energy and enthusiasm, and she can't help but notice how handsome he looks with his messy hair and the sweat on his brow.As they come to a clearing, they stumble upon a beautiful waterfall. The sound of the rushing water is peaceful and calming, and Emiliana feels her heart skip a beat as Jace turns to her."Isn't this amazing?" he says, his eyes fixed

The next morning, Emiliana woke up with a heavy heart. She tried to shake off the disturbing events of the previous night, but the memory lingers like a dark cloud hovering over the camp.Emiliana rubs her eyes and stretches her arms. She feels the soreness in her muscles from the long hike the day before. She takes a deep breath and looks around the cabin. The morning light filters in through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room.She took her bath and dressed up, then went to Jace’s cabin immediately.Jace is already up, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand. He looks up and sees Emiliana coming toward him. "Good morning," he says, smiling weakly when she got to his doorstep. His door was widely opened.Emiliana nods, still lost in thought. She enters and sits down next to him and pours herself a cup of coffee. She takes a sip and sighs. "I can't believe what we saw last night," she says.Jace nods, his expression serious. "Yeah, it was pretty messed up."T

Emiliana and Jace walk back to their cabin, their minds racing with thoughts of what they had just heard. They didn't say a word to each other as they walked, both lost in their thoughts. When they finally reach their cabin, Emiliana collapses onto her bed, staring up at the ceiling."We have to be careful," she says, breaking the silence. "We don't know who we can trust."Jace nods, sitting down next to her. "I know. But we have to do something. We can't just ignore this."Emiliana sits up, determination in her eyes. "You're right. We have to find out what's going on. But we have to be smart about it."Jace nods, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "We make a pretty good team, don't we?"Emiliana smiles back at him. "Yeah, we do."The two of them spend the rest of the night going over everything they know about the camp and the people who run it. They try to make sense of the information they have, but it's all so confusing. They know they need more information if they'

Emiliana, Jace, and the journalist work tirelessly for days, compiling evidence and trying to find a way to expose the camp director's embezzlement scheme. They spend long hours going over financial records and talking to parents of campers, trying to piece together the full extent of the director's wrongdoing.One afternoon, Emiliana and Jace decide to take a break and go for a walk around the lake. The journalist stays behind to continue going over some records.As they walk, Emiliana feels a sense of calm wash over her. The lake is calm, and the trees rustle gently in the breeze. Jace takes her hand, and they walk in silence for a few moments, enjoying the peace.Finally, Jace breaks the silence. "Do you ever think about what life would be like if we hadn't come here?" he asks.Emiliana thinks for a moment before answering. "I don't know. I mean, I'm glad we're here now, and we're doing something important. But before we got here, I was just...existing. I wasn't living, you know?"
