A One Night Stand With My Boss

After hanging up the phone, Camila turned to her mom, Claire. "Mom, Connor's picking me up to go to Fernwood Valley. I'm just going to pack a few things."

Claire nodded with a warm smile. "Go enjoy yourself, sweetheart. Just be safe."

Camila hugged her tightly. "I will, don't worry."

Claire returned the hug, a rush of emotions washing over her. Camila had grown from a naive little girl into a confident, mature woman. Her boyfriend was a great guy, which filled Claire with immense pride and relief.

Camila headed home and quickly packed some casual clothes. On her way out, she swung by the pharmacy and grabbed a box of motion sickness pills.

At the edge of the village, Connor's car was already waiting. As soon as he saw her, he got out and walked over.

Taking her backpack, he gently put an arm around her and helped her into the passenger seat. His actions were smooth and natural, like they were a couple who had been together for years.
