CHAPTER 12

We stayed the afternoon on the mountain, joining Milo and his wife, Uma, for not only breakfast, but lunch and dinner, as well. All morning, she'd been out picking berries in the forest and was pleasantly surprised to find us seated in her living room with Milo. I was grateful for their hospitality.

Milo made sure to give us plenty of food and matches to take back with us. He spent an hour with Joshua teaching him how to lay traps for fish when we traveled west as we'd find water closer to the ocean. While Joshua and Milo were fishing, Uma showed me which berries were poisonous and which were good to eat. I doubted we'd find time to stop again, but I definitely learned a good lesson should the need arise. After dinner, Uma took me aside, handing me a bottle of custom red dye she'd made from the berries, explaining how to use it. I thanked them repeatedly as we said our goodbyes and headed back through the woods.

"They were surprisingly nice," Joshua admitted, nudging me as we walked to the car. He opened the door for me and we both rearranged the food and other supplies in the backseat. "Aren't you glad I suggested it?"

I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh. "I'm just glad we didn't get shot.” Joshua agreed. He pulled out the keys. "Here, I'll drive," I offered taking the keys from him.
