Ophelia knelt by Kourtney's bed in the Honeycomb Cabin excitedly. Kourtney was fast asleep, wearing an eye mask and snoring softly. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" Ophelia sings. In response, Kourtney groan and turns away. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" Ophelia sang again.

"Free the werewolves, it's not their fault. Blame it on the moon." Kourtney said in her sleep, earning a giggle from Ophelia.

"Good morning, Elsa." Ophelia greeted with a grin.

That got Kourtney's attention. She pulls her eye mask up, sitting up and turning to face her with a grin and the two girls squealed excitedly. They both quickly went over to where the cast list was hung up outside. "Wait, you're Anna?" Kourtney excitedly said.

"Yes, I can't believe it!" Ophelia grins. "I haven't been able to stop smiling since I've found out."

"Since you're Anna and I'm Elsa, that makes us sisters!" Kourtney excitedly spoke and the two girls squealed.

"Wow." Ricky winces along with the other campers who happened to be nearby. "I didn't know your voices could even reach that register."

"Plug your ears, I'm about to join them." Carlos pushes his way through to the cast list excitedly. "I can't believe I'm playing..." 

Ricky moves to stand by Carlos, smiling as he read who Carlos would play. "Olaf! Congrats, bro. And I'm Kristof. That's..."

"A person." Carlos said, his smile falling off his face. He looks at Ricky. "Congratulation on being an actual species, Ricky. What? First Lumiere and now Olaf." He frowns. "Am I destined to play an inanimate object for eternity?" 

Ashlyn then came over, shocked to find out she was in ensemble. "I mean, hey, the ensemble. You can't do a show without the ensemble."

"Exactly." Fallon agrees. "And you're not the only one of us in the friend group to be in the ensemble. I'm in it. And some of the other girls at the Carnation Cabin are in it too." She smiled.

"Great." Ashlyn smiles. "And there are no small parts, only small actors. Right? Don't count your lines, make the lines count."

"Hey, we're the King and Queen." Luca noticed, smiling at Gina who smiled back at him.

"Yeah, we are." Gina grinned and squeezed his hand that was intertwined with hers. 

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Let's just be professionals." EJ chuckled as he walked through the crowd.

"Professionally, mazel tov." Ashlyn comments. "Especially EJ. Personally, I will be backlogging photos of him in antlers for all future possible blackmail purposes."

Everyone laughs at her comment. "What are you talkin' about?" EJ asked in confusion.

"You haven't found out yet?" Fallon inquired, glancing at him in surprise.

"Found out what?" EJ furrowed his eyebrows.

"Your good friend Val cast you as Seven, the reindeer." Carlos replied.

EJ looks surprised, but then he shakes his head and chuckles. "No, no. I'm not in the show. I'm directing in the show."

"Check the list." Carlos suggests. "Looks like you'll be joining the ranks of character actor-directors."

"Like Greta Gerwig." Gina smiled.

EJ leans forward to look at the cast list, eyes widening when he saw he was playing Sven. "No, this has to be a mistake."

"I'm just wondering if this is a final list?" Carlos asked curiously.

Everyone began talking over each other about the list. "Quiet your voices!" They all grew quiet when Maddox shouted that. The group looks over to see her standing on the porch of the barn. 

"Mornin', stage manager." EJ smiles. "You got everything ready?"

"Sure do, Rocket Man." Maddox grins. "It's Newbie Initiation Campout Night, folks. A night in the woods among the wildlife. And spirits." She chuckles. "Pack your tents. Oh, and rest your vocal chords. You'll be screaming tonight. Oh, and by the way, Carlos, we have cameras in the stage manager's office. But, uh, nice try recasting the show."

"Anyone else looking forward to tonight?" Anaya asks back at the Carnation Cabin with a grin as she and the other girls pack their things. "This night is always one of my favorites."

"I'm excited for it." Eliana smiles. "My family and I often go camping and we love it."

"That's good, maybe you can show me and O how to put up a tent." Fallon suggested.

"And do other camp things." Ophelia adds. She chuckles. "'Cause we know nothing about camping."

"Same here." Kadence chimes in. "Never camp before in my life."

"Yeah, same." Taliyah chimed in. 

"Don't worry," Anaya stands by Eliana, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they both smile at the other girls. "We can help you guys out." They step away from each other to continue packing, but Anaya glances at Ophelia with a smile. "Ophelia, I heard you got Anna in the play. That's great!"

Ophelia smiles shyly. "Yeah, thanks, Anaya."

"You got Anna?" Eliana grins. "That's great!"

"This was my first audition ever so I'm just an ensemble." Kadence admits. She smiles brightly. "But I'm just happy being included in the play."

"Yeah, same here." Eliana agreed. 

"Anaya, what part did you get?" Fallon curiously asked.

"Oh, I'm not in the play." Anaya shakes her head. "Musicals aren't really my thing so my activity I do is one of the other options this camp has." 

"Same here." Taliyah agrees with her. She chuckles. "I'm pretty sure I don't have a musical bone in my body." She smiles at the girls who will be in the play. "But I'm sure the play will be amazing." 

The girls continue to chat amongst each other, getting to know each other more as they kept packing. "Alright, are we ready?" Anaya asks, smiling when they all voiced their agreements and smiled. "Great, let's get to camping!" 

****

Soon the campers all head over to the camp site where they would be staying tonight. Ophelia would be staying in a tent with Fallon, of course. They both never gone camping so this would be a new experience for them. Thankfully Anaya and Eliana helped them out with the tent making for them and the other two girls of the group in the Carnation Cabin. Ophelia had no clue how to make a tent so she was relieved Anaya and Eliana helped her and Fallon pitching a tent and even taught them how to do it. 

"Thanks for the help, Anaya and Eliana." Fallon smiled.

"Yeah, we wouldn't have been able to done it without you." Ophelia chimed.

"No problem." Eliana reassured them.

"Yeah, we're always down to help out fellow members of the Carnation Cabin." Anaya grinned.

****

Soon the sun has gone down and the moon is lighting up the camp site. Fallon was currently hanging out with her boyfriend outside of his tent where he was highlighting scripts and she was helping him out with them. Gina and Luca were hanging out with Carlos, Kourtney, and Ashlyn as Ophelia and Ricky explored the woods near the camp site. 

"Why are we doing this?" Ophelia asked nervously, standing close by him and grasping her flashlight tightly as they walk down the path.

"So we can find the shrine of Susie Fine." Ricky grinned.

"Did you not hear the song EJ sang?" Ophelia raises her eyebrows. "Why do you wanna find the shrine?" 

"It'll be fun." He smiled at her, elbowing her side. 

"If we die I'm blaming you." Ophelia muttered, staying close by his side. They were walking side by side, their shoulders brushing up against each other but they didn't seem to mind. 

"Wait, is that it?" Ophelia asked when she noticed something in the distance. There was a small table set up near a tree at the dead end.  It had different kind of items on it, such as fairy lights in jars, a bowl of Twizzlers, some crystals in a bowl, etc. 

"Hey."

Both Ophelia and Ricky yelp, grabbing onto eahc others hands as they turn around to face the direction they heard the voice. They both calm down at seeing it was only Jett. "I come here to sometimes to think." Jett admitted.

Ricky shares a look with Ophelia before they both look at Jett. "Seriously?" Ricky asked, raising his eyebrows.

"When I'm hungry, I eat the Twizzlers. When I'm thirsty, I drink the crystals." Jett confessed.

"You're messing with us." Ricky guesses and Jett chuckles. "Though I guess the crystals would explain your voice."

"Yeah," Ophelia chimes in, just then realizing she and Ricky were still holding hands which made her blush a little and pull her hand away. Ricky notices this, blushing as well and rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Your voice is amazing, Jett." She commented.

Ricky nods. "Dude, everyone's still talking about your audition. Seriously, like, where'd you learn how to sing like that?"

Jett shrugs, crossing his arms. "It's a long, stupid story." 

Ricky shrugs, smiling at him. "Try us."

"Come on," Ophelia encourages softly with  a smile. "Tell us."

Jett sighs. "Basically, I, like, raised myself on YouTube 'cause my parents were always at work, and I taught myself to play piano. Taught myself to sing, too, I guess." He smiles a little then his smile falls at what he says next. "And then I had this music teacher at school, and she pushed me so hard that I sort of forgot what I liked about it to begin with. And my grades tanked, and my mom put me on ADD meds." Both Ophelia and Ricky listen intently, glancing at him with sympathy. "But it didn't work 'cause I don't have ADD." Jett continues. "I have AAD."

"Is that made up?" Ophelia furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yeah, sorry, 'AAD'?" Ricky asked in confusion.

"All Adults Disappoint." Jett replied.

Ricky hums in realization and chuckles. "I will admit it was a stupid story, but wasn't very long."

Ophelia chuckles along with him and Jett, rolling her eyes and nudges him. "It wasn't stupid." 

Ricky smiles, glancing at Jett. "He laughs. Looks at that."

"And smiles." Ophelia adds in a teasing voice. "Who would've thought."

****

By the time the trio make it back to the camp site, they find out everyone else was gathered around the camp fire. She saw Gina and Luca sat by each other, Ashlyn, Carlos, and Kourtney were by each other and Fallon was by them as well. Ophelia also spots the other members of the Carnation Cabin sitting by each other and when they noticed her they smiled and waved at her and she did the same back to them.

She sits on a log by Ricky as Jett sat on a stump beside them. Ricky had sneakily grabbed some Twizzlers from the shrine, putting them in the breast pocket of his flannel jacket. Ophelia thought taking the Twizzlers wasn't a good idea since they were obviously put there for a reason, but Ricky reassured her that it was fine and there was nothing to worry about. 

"Now to kick off the night," Maddox continues. Ophelia smiles as Ricky grabs a nearby blanket for him and her to share. She scoots closer to him to share it wtih him, their shoulders and legs brushing against each other. "Let's give it up for our very own Rocket Man!"

Cheers filled the air for EJ, who walks out of his tent with his acoustic guitar. "He can play guitar?" Ophelia asked in surprise, glancing at Ricky. Ricky just shrugged, looking as surprised as she was. Ophelia had no clue he could play guitar, but she was impressed. 

"Alright, everyone," EJ said, taking a seat on a stump near where Fallon was sitting. When they lock eyes, they shared a smile for a few moments before realizing everyone was watching them and so they looked away. EJ looks back at the campers with a smile. "Pay attention, 'cause I don't have much time to waste tonight. I'm gonna need a little help singing parts of this."

"Shake your money maker, Caswell!" Carlos grinned while shimmying his shoulders along with Kourtney, earning a chuckle from his friends.

EJ just stares at him, shaking his head. "Not helpful, Carlos. Alright, here we go." He smiled, glancing back at the campers as he started playing his acoustic guitar and started singing the song about Susan Fine. Susan Fine was a woman was alive two hundred years ago and apparently she went out to the woods after hearing a spooky whistle. People have said that she got swallowed by Shallow Lake and no one has seen her since, that is until her ghost would say 'come on in'. 

Ophelia had to admit she got creeped out by the song and if it was actually true that would creep her out even more. She noticed how Fallon was smiling at EJ as he played and chuckled when EJ nudged her with a grin on his face as he played. Throughout the song, Ricky had sneakily ate some of the Twizzlers he had with him, handing some to Ophelia for her as well which she gratefully took.

Everyone cheered for EJ when the song was done, but Kourtney speaks up nervously. "Um, is that really a true story?"

"Oh, that song is basically a documentary." Maddox smiled.

Luca's eyes widen and he looks nervous. "Yeah, no thanks. I'm out."

"I'm with Luca on that." Kourtney agrees, pointing at the brunette-haired boy who was cuddled close to Gina looking a bit frightened by the story. She chuckles nervously, pointing at EJ. "Quick follow up-"

"I actually have a lot of homework." EJ cut in, looking apologetic. He glances at Maddox with a smiles. "But the amazing Maddox will explain it all." After kissing Fallon on the cheek - which earned awes from the campers, causing the couple to blush and EJ chuckled - EJ had went back to his tent. Ophelia smiled softly at that action, smiling teasingly at Fallon when they locked eyes. Fallon rolled her eyes playfully as her face turned more red.

"Let's see. Who here likes ghost stories?" At Maddox's questions, some campers raise their hands eagerly, Ricky included and Ophelia couldn't help the giggle that left her lips when she saw him raise both his hands. Hearing her giggle, Ricky glances at her with a grin. Maddox chuckles and smiles at the group while everyone lowers their hands. "Then it's time for you all to hear the story of," She faces her flashlight to point at her face when she turned it on. "The Woman in the Woods."

"See, that's a no for me." Kourtney chimed in, looking scared and Luca nodded in agreement. 

"Camp Shallow Lake was founded a long, long time ago by a married couple." Maddox starts. "Mr. John Fine and Mrs. Susan Fine. Everybody loved Mrs. Fine. She was kind. Had a voice like an angel. And she had a sweet tooth, unmatched. She always had a bag of Twizzlers in hand." When she said that, Ophelia and Ricky happened to be eating one of the Twizzlers they had gotten from the shrine. Ricky had paused eating his Twizzler out of his breast pocket of his flannel jacket as Ophelia pauses eating her Twizzler that she held, the two best friends sharing a wide eyed look. They turn their attention back to Maddox as the girl stands and they remain eating their Twizzlers, but a bit more hesitantly now. 

"But tragedy struck on an ight a lot like tonight. It was the very first Newbie Initiation Campout night. Legend says Mrs. Fine heard a faint whistling sound deep in the woods." A faint noise is heard somewhere deep in the woods and it echoes, startling the group. Ophelia had grabbed onto Ricky's hand out of fear as she jumped, startled by the sound. Luca had clinged onto Gina, his arm linked with hers and his other hand intertwined with her.

"So, she wandered out there." Maddox continues, pointing the flashlight at Kourtney while raising her voice. Kourtney yelps in fear, eyes widening, and moves to hide behind Luca since he sat by her right side. "All by herself."

"Wait," Ricky raises his hand, gaining Maddox's attention. "What did she find?"

"Was it Corbin Bleu's helicopter?" Jett chuckled, earning chuckles and/or laughter from other campers as well.

Maddox lowers her flashlight, Ophelia noticed her face faltering for a few seconds before she was quick to compose herself and continue. "No. She was out in the woods for so long, she never came home."

Jett nods. "I know the feeling." His retort gained snickers or chuckles from the campers as some campers began talking with each other, startling Maddox.

Ophelia stayed quiet, watching Maddox with concern. "Well, wait. No. So this all happened twenty, I mean, fifty years ago." Maddox stumbles over her words, Jett's remark seeming to throw her off guard. She had raised her voice as she spoke to get everyone's attention again and it worked since they all got silent. "And, uh, ever since that night, Mrs. Fine has been wandering the woods, hungry, lost, and angry."

"You guys," Jett grins. "Am I Susan Fine?" Laughter filled the air once more at his joke.

Ricky chuckles, pointing at him. "You are pretty angry, dude. I'm not gonna lie."

Ophelia watches as Maddox walks away after trying to convince the group the story was supposed to be scary. Jett had tried calling out to her, looking guilty, but Maddox kept walking away. Ophelia didn't even know how they knew each other, but she decided not to ask about that now.

****

Ophelia and Fallon were currently in their tent and unpacked their things. "So, do you think that Susan Fine story is true?" Fallon asked curiously.

"I don't know, I kinda believe it." Ophelia admitted, earning a surprised look from Fallon.

"Really? You don't even like ghost stories." Fallon reminded her.

"I know, but when me and Ricky were exploring the woods earlier, we found this shrine that had Twizzlers like what Maddox talked about." Ophelia explained.

Fallon stares at the Twizzler she held in her hand that Ophelia gave her. Ophelia had gotten another one from Ricky before they all went to their tents so she could give it to Fallon since she knew Fallon loved Twizzlers. "Wiatt, you're telling me this Twizzler is for a ghost?" Fallon's eyes widen and throws the Twizzler at Ophelia. "I don't want it!"

Ophelia manages to catch the Twizzler, chuckling. "Looks who the chicken now." She teased.

"Okay, ghost stories don't bother me...But this is starting to be a bit too real and I don't like it." Fallon admitted.

"Come on, don't you wanna go see it?" Ophelia encourages. "The shrine looked so cool and creepy."

"Fine." Fallon grumbles. "If you're not gonna eat that Twizzler, I want it back." She finally said, earning a giggle from Ophelia.

"Yeah," Ophelia hums in response, handing the Twizzler back to her. "I thought so."

****

The two best friends search for where Ricky would be, finding him in EJ's tent where Carlos was at with him. "Rick, are you trying to get them to come with us to see the shrine?" Ophelia grinned.

"Yeah, but it's sounding like a no from them." Ricky sighed.

"The what now?" Luca asked, walking into the tent with Gina following him.

"Did you say shrine?" Gina inquired, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yeah, apparently O said there's this creepy shrine for Susan Fine somewhere in the woods nearby." Fallon answered with a shrug.

"It's the scariest thing I've ever seen." Ricky confesses. "And I've seen Hereditary." Ophelia clears her throat to gain his attention. "Correction," He adds, gesturing between himself and Ophelia. "We saw Hereditary."

"Well, technically you bribed me to watch it 'cause there was no way I would watch it willingly and bought my ice cream afterwards." Ophelia shrugs. "But I guess what's the difference."

"Aw, come on, Eej." Gina said, trying to coax him to go with them. "Let's go."

"He might be busy, G." Fallon notices her boyfriend hard at work with highlighting scripts. "Oh, speaking of that I was supposed to help you with that wasn't I?" She realizes and  gestures for Carlos to scoot over so she can sit by EJ. "Sorry, O, I'm staying to help EJ."

"It's okay, I understand." Ophelia smiled. She was glad Fallon was helping EJ out, she could see how stressed he was and she would offer to help, but she knew Fallon would help her boyfriend out.

"Don't mind me." Ashlyn peaks her head through the tent before walking in and she looks nervous. "Just having a teeny, tiny identify crisis."

Luca looks at her in concern. "Ash, what are you talking about?"

"There's just something I gotta know." Ashlyn replies, glancing at her cousin. "And EJ is the only one who would know it. So, EJ do you remember what time I was born? I just need to know if it was 11:37am or 11:37pm."

Suddenly, EJ raises his voice and his hands hit the table which is a shock for everyone. "Everyone, stop!" He faces the group, revealing his stressed face. "It was 11:37am. I know that because my mom always tells me how you forever ruined the eggs Benedict." Fallon put a comforting hand on his leg when she heard his voice crack as he spoke, showing how much stressed he actually was. He relaxed a little at her touch, but he was still clearly stressed and almost panicking. "Remember? Eggs Benedict is strictly a morning dish." EJ adds. He looks at the others. "No, I can't come to the shrine tonight. I have to finish making the script before Corbin comes tomorrow. I have a lot on my plate, okay?"

"Take a deep breath, babe." Fallon said softly, grabbing one of his hands to intertwine her hand with his. "You'll be okay."

"We get it, EJ." Ophelia reassures EJ with a soft smile. "Just remember to take deep breaths, okay?" She said as she gestured the others to follow her out of the tent. Soon they all left and it was just Fallon and EJ. Fallon had stayed back to comfort her boyfriend and help him out with the scripts.

****

Ophelia walked beside Ricky as they along with Luca and Gina walk in the same path Ricky and Ophelia walked earlier to find the shrine. "The shrine was around here somewhere. I swear." Ricky mumbled.

"He's right. I remembered seeing it near the camp site. We have to be close." Ophelia said.

Gina looks around nervously, her hand intertwined wtih Luca's. "Maybe we should head back now."

"At least I'm not the only one who's scared now." Luca teased, earning an eye roll and a chuckle from Gina.

A loud screeching noise in the distance is heard, causing the four of them to stop in their tracks and instinctively move close to each other. Ophelia and Ricky had grabbed onto each other while Gina and Luca did the same. After the loud noise, the group could faintly hear a female voice singing. 

"I don't even wanna ask what that was." Ophelia muttered nervously.

"It better not be who I think it is." Luca murmured.

"Maddox said she had a voice like an angel." Gina pointed out. "Angel voice."

Ricky glances at the group nervously, his hand still in Ophelia's. "Gulp."

Gina raises her eyebrows. "Now what?"

"Follow the sound?" Ricky suggested.

"What a great idea that will easily get us killed." Ophelia sarcastically said.

"I'm with O," Luca agrees. "Let's just go back now."

Eventually the four convinced themselves to keep on going. They make their way to where the barn was at. The closer they got to it, they could hear someone singing in the barn and playing piano as well. 

Ricky shrugs. "I mean, we've come this far, right?"

"I guess we should keep going." Ophelia sighs. She points at Ricky. "But if I get killed because of this, I'm blaming you."

Ricky chuckles a little and smiles at her, squeezing her hand that was still in his. "You know that I would do anything to protect you even if someone tried killing us." Ophelia's heart fluttered at that and she smiled back at him in response.

Soon the group makes it inside the barn, all screaming and shining their flashlights forward as they cling onto each other. The girl who was singing and playing piano happened to be Ashlyn. She had screamed as well, the five of them screaming at the same time while Ashlyn shined her flashlight at the group. "Gina?" Gina was the first one the red head noticed, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Thanks for the heart attack I just got." Ophelia muttered, trying to calm her fast breathing.

"Luca, honey, you can open your eyes now." Gina chuckles softly when she noticed her boyfriend had closed his eyes. He opens one eye just to be sure she was right and then opens the other when he saw Ashlyn and relaxed. "It's okay, it's just Ash." She reassured him, kissing his cheek. He smiled at her, his face turning pink.

"You're the Woman in the Woods?" Ricky inquired.

****

"Okay, I think I get it," Ricky admits. He paces in front of the stage, where Ashlyn, Gina, Luca, and Ophelia sat. "Because of an optical illusion, right, it seems like Mercury's going backwards?"

"Right." Ashlyn confirmed.

Ricky nods. "And when this is happening bad things happen."

"It's science." Ashlyn said.

"Right." Ricky continues. "And Mercury's in retrograde? Right now?"

"Honestly? Honestly, no." Ashlyn admitted.

"What do you mean, Ash?" Ophelia asked softly.

"I just...I wanted to blame the whole Val ensemble casting thing on something I couldn't control." Ashlyn confessed.

Gina hugs her. "It's okay, Ash. You were bummed. You wanted an explanation." 

"Last semester, I didn't think I could be a leading lady. And tonight, I found out I was born at brunch time." Ashlyn said while they pull away from the hug and she chuckles along with the others. "Guess there's something always new to learn."

"Yeah, there is." Ophelia agreed with a smile.

"Is that it, Ash?" Ricky asked the red head.

"This, um, Corbin Bleu TV thing, I thought it was gonna be my big break." Ashlyn continued.

"Hey," Gina said softly, patting he shoulder to comfort her. "It still could be."

"Yeah, don't give up hope." Ophelia commented reassuringly.

"Nah," Ashlyn shakes her head, smiling at Ophelia and poking her leg. "It could be yours, Anna." Ophelia chuckles and smiles at the red head. "And you deserve it." 

Ophelia then pulls her into a hug. "Thank you, Ash." 

After the hug, Ashlyn jumps off the stage, fist bumping Ricky and Luca and giving the girls and a peace sign. "Good night, cool kids."

"We're gonna head out too." Gina said after she shared a look wtih Luca, both of them knowing Ophelia and Ricky probably need some alone time to talk. 

"Yeah, we'll see you back at the camp site guys." Luca smiled at the two. He then walked out of the barn with Gina, hand in hand.

"Don't let the Woman in the Woods get ya." Ricky teased the trio that left the barn.

"She's right, you know." Ricky breaks the comfortable silence that had fell upon him and Ophelia when they were alone. He sits beside her on the edge of the stage. He playfully nudges her and smiles. "This could be your big break, Lia."

"Oh, I don't know." Ophelia chuckles, nudging him back. "I highly doubt it."

Ricky's face softens. "Why you say that? You have potential to be a star."

Ophelia smiles softly, ignoring how butterflies swarmed in her stomach when he said that. "Thank you, but Ricky, I've only ever been in one play my whole life. The fact I got the lead in this play is surpsiisng enough." She admits. "And the fact that it will be on TV and a documentary to go along with it is terrifying." She adds with a shudder. "What am I even doing?" She frowns. "I'm not cut out to be a lead."

"Hey, don't talk about my best friend like that." Ricky playfully but sternly said. "You're perfect for portraying Anna. You were picked for her role because you have the talent for it and Val believed you could do it. I believe you can do it too." He smiled softly at her.

"Thank you, Rick." Ophelia smiles fondly at him, her heart fluttering. "I appreciate it. It means a lot to me."

Ricky nods and moves to get off the stage, offering a hand to her to help her down. He knew she could get down easily by herself, but this was just an excuse hold her hand again. "Come on, let's get back to the others before the Woman in the Woods get us." He teased.

Ophelia laughs, rolling her eyes and bumps her shoulder with his as they walk out of the barn. "You're such a dork, Rick."

A/N literally love all the couples in this fic so much !!
