Charlie had watched as Josie's jeep had come wheeling into the parking lot and came to a calm stop, followed by Josie turning it off and sliding out of the drivers' side.

He had continued to watch as she hurriedly gathered her personal belongings and her "evening beverages" and came briskly hurrying over to where he was.

As she drew close he tucked his phone into his swimming trunks' pocket and returned her smile and hug with a warm grin and a firm embrace of his own.


After she was finished hugging and speaking he quickly responded.
"It's alright, no big deal. The evening is still young and there is still plenty of party to be had, and there will be all the way to about three in the morning. I'm just happy your here. Come on, I'll take you to our 'camp site'."
He made quotation symbols with his fingers as he said "camp site" and turned and began walking towards the circle of tents that belonged to he and his friends, motioning for her to follow as he did so.

He looked back and said,"You can put your things in my tent, I'll show you which one it is once we get over there."

His gaze drifted across her outfit and with a rather silly looking grin he said,"No bikini? Ah, dang." 
His ridiculous grin growing wider as he looked away and continued to walk toward the circle of tents.
