After hanging up the phone, Cam turned to her mom, ire. "Mom, Connor''s picking me up to go to Fernwood Valley. I''m just going to pack a few things."


    ire nodded with a warm smile. "Go enjoy yourself, sweetheart. Just be safe."

    ire returned the hug, a rush of emotions washing over her. Cam had grown from a naive little girl into a confident, mature woman. Her boyfriend was a great guy, which filled ire with immense pride and relief.


    Cam headed home and quickly packed some casual clothes. On her way out, she swung by the pharmacy and grabbed a box of motion sickness pills.


    At the edge of the vige, Connor''s car was already waiting. As soon as he saw her, he got out and walked over.


    Taking her backpack, he gently put an arm around her and helped her into the passenger seat. His actions were smooth and natural, like they were a couple who had been together for years.


    "Got your ID?" Connor asked with a hint of concern as he started the car.


    Cam nodded, her excitement bubbling over. "All set."


    As they drove away from the vige, Cam nced at the road and suddenly blurted out, "Are you sure we''re going the right way?"


    Connor just smiled and shook his head. "No boat this time."


    Cam looked puzzled. "No boat? Then how are we getting to Fernwood Valley?"

    "This...," Cam stammered, eyes wide in surprise.


    Connor nodded, smiling. "Yep, this is our ride today."


    Cam knew it took about fifteen minutes to fly from the downtown airport to Fernwood Valley, but they weren''t at an airport!


    Still in shock, she barely moved as Connor took her hand and led her to the helicopter. The pilot stepped out and opened the cabin door for them.

    Cam nodded, gripping his hand tightly. In that moment, he was her anchor.


    As the helicopter lifted off, Cam''s heart raced. She watched the ground shrink away, her emotions a mix of awe and confusion.


    As they climbed higher, her feelings began to settle. She turned to Connor, still in disbelief. "This is a private helicopter?" Connor nodded. "Family''s."


    A realization hit Cam. She had thought Connor was a self-made entrepreneur. But discovering that his father was Peter, she now understood Connor was a wealthy
