Something Wilder

Leo wakes up the next morning and lies in his tent listening to Lily and Nicole chat outside. They’re discussing the treasure hunt, Duke’s intentions, and what they’d do with the money. Lily admits that finding the treasure could help her get the ranch. Nicole teases that the hunt would also let her spend more time with Leo. Lily shuts down the conversation, but Leo feels flattered hearing them mention him. He realizes he hasn’t stopped wanting Lily and that being away from New York has felt good.

Leo joins Lily outside and they talk about Duke. Lily explains that Duke had a stroke shortly after Leo left Wyoming. He stayed alive for three more years, during which time Lily cared for him. The only thing he could say in the years before his death was Lily’s name. She admits that she’s hurt he didn’t make a better effort to get Leo’s messages to her and that she feels frustrated he found the money and hid it from her. Leo agrees that the situation is difficult, but reiterates how glad he is to see her again. Lily seconds his thoughts, confessing how hard it was to get over him.
