In the morning after they had eaten breakfast and made themselves ready for the day, he explained what he wanted to do. Some of it, anyway. He was glad they didn’t question him about how he was going to sneak the dust in. They didn’t question his plan, and he was glad of that, too. He knew there were a whole lot of what-ifs and problems with the plan, but he felt their trust, even if he wasn’t sure he deserved it. Sonya seemed grimly happy to be doing something to get to her dad. Marilyn accepted the plan as she accepted so many things. Her role was the safest in some ways. If things went wrong, if he wasn’t able to get them out, Marilyn could find her way back to the camp alone. He wondered if she would. He hoped she would.

“So do we just wait for the Collectors?” Sonya asked. “How long do we wait?”

“Today we wait. Let’s do what we want to do today. We can be outside, but we should stay close. If they aren’t here by tonight, we get their attention. Tonight, we have a bonfire. How do s’mores sound?” Chase was surprised by how casual he could sound. Inside, he was conflicted. There was fear of the unknown, but he had lived with that since leaving home. The difference was now there was a weird feeling of resolution. They were going to do something to affect the outcome of the situation. They were going to choose what was going to happen next. And that allowed him to enjoy himself the rest of the day.

Marilyn went to check on the horses, but she didn’t have to go far. When she walked out into the field and whistled, Cherokee came across the pasture with the other horses following. After petting and reassuring them, she came back to where Sonya and Chase watched. “Anybody up for a walk? I want to see the house.”

At the house they found board games. There was Monopoly on a board that Chase thought was at least twice as old as they were. There was Parcheesi, too. He had never played it, nor had Sonya, but Marilyn showed them how. When they grew tired of board games, they explored the outbuildings, looking into a storage shed Chase had missed the first time through. There were trunks of old clothes, and even though it felt a little invasive, they dressed up in them and had a formal lunch. After changing back they returned to the abandoned farmhouse but not before searching for and finding all the ingredients for s’mores. He had looked again at the pictures of the grandkids and wondered what it had been like to have grandparents like those who had lived here. He didn’t know his mom’s parents. When she had married his father, she had broken off contact with them. He had always had the feeling she was ashamed of them. She had never said anything, but he was pretty sure she had grown up poor.
