* FROM DREAMS TO REALITY *

Part Two~~Montana Campsite

As Jonell was walking at a fast pace toward the group, her footing faltered. She felt certain she was being watched. She could feel the heat of someone's eyes branding her.
Pausing for a moment, Jonell slowly turned around. Growing pale, her eyes widened and her knees grew weak, he searching gaze stopped on the man who was staring back at her from the brownest eyes imaginable. She covered her mouth with a hand, gasping. The more she stared back at him, the more she was aware that this was not just any man.
This was the man of her midnight dreams.
He was of medium height. His eyes dark brown, large, and well set. His nose was moderate in size, his chest splendidly developed. His shoulder length curly hair hung free.
She blinked her eyes and swallowed hard. How could she have possibly dreamed of this man whom she had never seen before?
Later that day...
Howard was his name; she had learned from another member of the group, their guide.
"We will camp here for the night," Howard said "There is water for drinking and trees to give us shade for setting up camp."
His statement was met with a sigh of relief from the group exhausted after the long hike.
Everyone worked together gathering wood for a fire, and the evening meal. Later everyone retreated to his or her own small tents.
In the privacy of her own tent, Jonell made entries in her journals, and laid them aside, stretching out on her sleeping bag. She closed her eyes and pretended that she was home in her room.
The sound of movement outside caused her eyes to open quickly. She scarcely breathed, wondering who was stirring around outside, when only moments ago it seemed that everyone was asleep for the night.
Too curious not to see who it was, Jonell threw open her tent, her breath suddenly lodged in her throat and her heart skipped a beat as she watched Howard leave the campsite.
Without further thought, she scrambled from her tent and began to follow him.
