As they made their way down the hall, Ethan studied the walls, the fit of the s and looked for anything that needed touch-ups before the camp opened He’d already walked the property with the job fores that needed to be finished From what he could tell, it was all done

"No problem"

The two men shook hands Ethan turned to Josh and did the same, then put his hands on Tyler’s thin shoulders

"This is Tyler," he introduced, pausing before adding, "reeted the boy, while Josh looked as stunned as a cartoon character going off a cliff

"Your son?" Josh repeated He mouthed "Who?" over Tyler’s head

"His mom is Liz Sutton"

Tyler laughed

Raoul sighed "You’re overcoain Should I feel sorry for your fiancée?"

Josh’s grin turned cocky "Ask her yourself She’ll tell you how satisfied she is"

Josh and Tyler left Ethan and Raoul settled at the small conference table in the corner, a stack of folders between them

"Is Josh always like that?" Raoul asked, obviously amused

"Since he was a kid Underneath the cocky exterior, Josh is a great guy"

Raoul nodded "He’s been a big help with the ca like this, but his work on the cycling school gave hiood ideas Not that you need to tell him that I said that"

"You still thinking of putting in a house for the caed "I would, but Dakota said she’s not interested in living on-site She prefers her place back in town"

Ethan studied the detailed map of the camp "There’s plenty of room for a couple of houses, if you decide you want to stay here all year"

"I’m with your sister I’d rather be in town"

Ethan chuckled "Don’t want to give the kids that much access?"
