It was a really nice place, so he invited Forrest to come as well.

They had brought camping gear, food, toys, and everything else they could possibly need for a day out in nature.

Joe was the happiest of them all.

Since he was the oldest kid, he could enjoy his time running around and playing. If he got tired or hungry, there would be good food waiting for him.

It was a relaxed, comfortable day.

Bowen ran by himself and could be watched from a safe distance.

Joe didn't need to be taken care of either.

Forrest sighed. "It would have been perfect if we had a grill for barbecue."

Turning to look at him, Camila said, "All you ever think of is food."

"The place was making me think about it." "It would have been more fun with more people. I wish Alick and Annis were also here,"

Forrest added.

“You're not married, but you're an adult. They're newlyweds. They need time to themselves."

Forrest was speechless.

For some reason, her words made him uncomfortable.

"What do you mean I'm not married? I was married once. Have you forgotten?"

It was Camila's turn to be speechless.

She really had forgotten!

Camila's playful jab struck a nerve. "Married before, are you, and proud of it?" she teased a hint of mischief in her eyes.

Forrest felt a lump form in his throat.

This was a past he wasn't eager to revisit.
