Pete replied, "I was gonna cook up some burgers or hotdogs, if that's ok with you. I bought some salads at the deli when we went to the store that we can have with them. Here, let me help you up." He bent down and took her hands, pulling her to her feet and into his arms where he hugged her tightly and gave her a gentle kiss.
She slid her feet into her sandals and followed Pete outside. He zipped the tent flap closed and they went to the coolers to start supper. Brenda put a large skillet on the table while Pete made four burger patties from the large package of hamburger in the cooler. He put the patties in the pan and then washed his hands again in the dishpan of warm water that was on the end of the table. Brenda put the pan on the grill over the fire and let the meat cook while she set the table, taking out plates, silverware, cups and napkins, and Pete got out the salads: potato, macaroni & fruit salads, placing them on the table with the potato chips and pickles.
They cooked the burgers and sat at the table and ate, then went for a walk through the campgrounds and down to the creek where the swimming hole is. They made plans to go swimming there sometime, then went back to their campsite. Pete banked the fire, then they went to bed for the night. They made love a few times during the night, then in the morning, they packed up and left the campgrounds. Pete took Brenda home, then he went to his house. Brenda called all of her girlfriends, Calli, Carol, Meg and Penny, to see if they'd want to meet that afternoon for coffee at the local Dunkin' Donuts shop. They all agreed to meet at 2 pm at the shop.
