Something Wilder

Lily introduces the guests to their horses and the group sets out on the trail. A few hours later, Lily lets herself observe Leo more closely. Watching him, she remembers the summer they spent together 10 years ago. She remembers how hard he tried to get to know her. She was hesitant to trust him at first but soon realized he genuinely liked her.

The guests’ conversation interrupts Lily’s thoughts. She and Nicole try giving Terry riding instructions, but he insists he knows better. When the group stops, Lily explains that they must solve their first puzzle before they can continue their hunt. She explains that they’re “headed to one of the places [Butch] Cassidy supposedly hid money” (80). While giving her instructions, Lily remembers when she and Leo were together.

Lily gives the group more instructions about the slide puzzle. She watches as Leo, Bradley, Terry, and Walter each try to solve it. Leo finishes first. Watching him, Lily realizes that Leo hasn’t changed as much as she thought. The group resumes their conversation and Leo’s friends suddenly realize Lily is the girl Leo fell in love with years prior. Lily confirms that she and Leo were together and then shuts down the conversation.
