On the second afternoon of the trip, an accident with a tree branch pierces the fabric of Dani's tent. Nights are cold in the forest which means her tent is unusable. These are special tents, too. Compact and designed for mental and physical insulation.
Dani squints her eyes, puts her hands on her hips, and gives her best friend an icy glare as a joke response. The only reason Dani and her son joined this retreat is because of Zara Eslameih's glowing reviews.
"I guess we're sharing my tent tonight," Robert says to his mother.
Zara interjects with a counter-offer. "No, you can stay with me at night. I'm the one who dragged you onto this trip. It'll be like a sleepover."
Dani's first reaction is to accept her friend's offer. It did sound fun, after all. But being the consummate professional, she didn't want to cross boundaries since they are also office colleagues.
The is a spiritual retreat and most of the attendees are office workers looking to escape their busy lives. They want to find meaning and 'discover their inner-selves,' whatever that means. And they want a chance to connect with nature.
Holistic drugs are used -- in moderate doses -- and experienced teachers are there to guide people at every step.
And with those drugs, the last thing Dani wants is to be sweaty, vulnerable, and having mood swings while laying beside a colleague. Best friend or not. Her professional side will not allow her to show weakness to anyone outside of her family.
"Thanks for the offer," Dani smiles. "But I'll be camping with my son tonight."
She notices her 19 year old son wince. Everyone on the spiritual retreat had taken the herbal remedy the previous night and the results varied. Some had hallucinations, vivid dreams of the past, while others sweated heavily. Two people reported experiencing intense sexual arousal.
It makes Dani wonder what Robert experienced the night before. Surely it's the reason for her son wincing. It is amusing to think that Robert suffered a massive erection. Then she realizes that they'll be laying next to each other tonight, shoulder-to-shoulder, and the thought turns to horror.
The rest of the day is normal. Lots of hiking, lots of meditation, lots of inward reflection. It makes her friendship with Zara even closer. It also gives her a chance to strengthen her maternal bond with Robert.
In the late afternoon she's standing in the river to wash her feet after a long group walk. The sun is beaming on her face. She is braless now, removing her undergarment to relax for the next meditation session. From what she can tell, most of the women meditate braless.
From the coolness of the water, she's certain that her nipples are erect and she wonders if they're poking through her tshirt. She intends to wear a thin sweater before meeting with the rest of the group.
Dani is caught off guard when her son approaches. She thinks about covering her chest, but decides against it. It will look like she has something to hide if she covers herself.
"They're serving fresh fruit juice now," Robert says.
She notices her son catching a glimpse of her chest. At that moment she knows her big nipples are poking through her tshirt. Her son expresses a light smile and diverts his eyes away. The young man is caught.
"I'll be there in a minute," Dani replies. "My feet were sweating so I wanted to take my socks off and step in the water."
"That's a great idea since we'll be sharing a tent tonight."
She laughs. "Very funny. I expect you to be properly bathed as well."
An erection retort comes to mind, but Dani keeps it to herself. Because of all the potential issues that can happen when sharing a tent, a hard penis is the most obvious to her. She refuses to tease her son about it because it will only make things awkward.
"I'm always clean," he says, stealing another glance at her chest. "Come down if you want some juice. Or I can save you a cup."
Dani ignores the invitation. "Thank you for coming on this adventure with me. I mean it. You've been an awesome partner and a real trooper."
"It's a cool vacation," he jokes. "I like being here."

जिंदगी की राहों में रंजो गम के मेले हैं.
भीड़ है क़यामत की फिर भी हम अकेले हैं.
