บททั้งหมดของ An Endless Kind of Love: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

DylanDylan carefully stacked the last of the clean dishes from the sink and set them in the cupboard. It had taken him almost an hour to get through them since the industrial dishwasher for the camp had broken down. He’d washed them all by hand so that the camp would have clean dishes for breakfast tomorrow.It wasn’t his job to do dishes. Technically, he didn’t really have a true position at the camp, but he was here to help out. The owners Carter and Mia were his friends, so when he’d asked for something to do, they’d given him free range on the ranch. He fixed cars, taught classes, worked with kids, and helped out with whatever repairs the ranch needed. Today, the ranch needed a dishwasher.He drained the sink and chuckled at his dishpan hands. Who would have thought that a billionaire would be doing dishes? It felt good though. Working at the ranch with the foster kids and actually making a difference in their lives felt better than earning money ever did. He felt lighter here. D

DylanThe rain was slow and gentle as he opened the passenger door of the ranch truck for Bonnie. She smiled gratefully as he held the umbrella up over her head as she stepped out into the dark and walked over to her trunk to get her things for the night. Thunder groaned in the distant, but it wasn’t threatening.He held the umbrella up over the two of them as she dug around in the trunk for her suitcase. The rain misted around them as he created their own little dry world for just the two of them. It had almost a magical quality to it.“Here, let me hold that,” he said, taking a red duffle-bag from her and putting it over his shoulder. It was lighter than he thought it would be. She traveled light.“Thanks.” Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly looked back to the car. “I just need to find my toiletry kit.”She turned and dug through the luggage in her trunk. There were several bags and suitcases, all neatly stacked and arranged in the back. He tried not to stare as she bent o

BonnieSunlight flickered and danced through the pine boughs, and birds sang squeaky melodies as Bonnie walked along the gravel path to the cafeteria building. The long thin grass was still wet from the night’s rain, and everything smelled of wet pine and fresh dirt. She took a deep breath in and immediately felt like she was where she was supposed to be.The path to the cafeteria flat and easy to walk, but with a view of the Rocky Mountains that took her breath away. The mountains were so much bigger and grander than she had imagined. It was so different from New Jersey that it felt like she’d stepped through a magic mirror and into a world of myth. A friendly little squirrel chattered at her from the top of a bright green pine tree as she walked past. She was fairly certain if she burst into song, the squirrel would sing the melody with her just like in a princess movie.She turned a corner to find the large building that housed the cafeteria and kitchen. The big wooden structure st

Bonnie“You go take a break for a bit,” Chef told Bonnie, patting her on the shoulder. “You got all the dishes done. Dinner will be soon enough, and it's going to be a doozy.”Bonnie's arms were tired. Her feet were tired. She'd washed dishes all morning, all afternoon, and was preparing herself to wash dinner dishes again this evening. It was hard, but it was worth the room and board.“That sounds great. Thanks,” Bonnie replied, putting her drying towel up on a rack. “What's for dinner?”“Tacos,” Chef informed her. “My secret recipe for the salsa.”“I'm already looking forward to it,” Bonnie said. “I mean, the meal. Not the dishes.”Chef laughed. “Go take a break. You've earned it.”Bonnie thanked her and took off her apron. She stepped out into the warm summer mountains sunshine. The scent of pine was almost overwhelming, but it was dry and pleasant. There was no humidity up here, even after all the rain.She walked past the garage, sad to see that Dylan wasn't in it working. She'd

BonnieOnce the dish-washing machine was fixed and loaded with dishes, there wasn’t much left for Bonnie to do in the kitchen. She helped with putting the food from lunch away and sweeping the floors before she left. Chef had her promise to stop in and say hello on a regular basis, but then promptly shooed her out of the kitchen to go explore the camp.Chef had mentioned multiple times how nice the camp pool was after a hard day’s work. Now that her background check had cleared, Bonnie felt like she could go to the pool and not be afraid of interacting with the campers. Up until today, she didn’t want to go where she wasn’t allowed, but with the job offer, the camp opened up to her.She put on her favorite one-piece swimsuit, a pair of sweatpants, and a light jacket and began to wander the ranch looking for the famed pool.She found the barn where Laura was teaching some of the older kids how to groom horses. She waved, but since she wasn’t dressed for working with animals, continued
