Chapter 20---Day 8           

Lizzie stalked a herd of deer with Matt beside her, coaching. “You got this, baby,” he told as he crouched down. “Keep your eyes on the target. Breathe easily.”           

“I got it,” she hissed before shooting off. She bit into a flank and took a big sip. She gulped it down, satisfying every instinct.           

Matt flashed to her side and kissed her cheek. “Wanna go again? They didn’t go very far yet,” he told as he sniffed the air.

“Think of the good things. Like being able to be with me,” he whispered as he turned her toward him. He put a hand under her chin and lifted her face.           

“That is a great thing,” she whispered before she got up on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed for a long time, enjoying the shade of the trees.
