Chapter 5

Eric had been at Silver Lake a week before he felt well enough to resume his early morning runs. His job required him to spend a lot of time running around half naked, so keeping fit and looking good was kind of a prerequisite of the job. One of things he enjoyed most of all was the early morning runs with his dogs, and ever since he'd arrived at the lake he'd been itching to go for a run around the perimeter.

Leaving Thomas in bed with a cup of coffee and a grunted "Thanks," he went down the stairs, calling to the dogs. Toby and Millie bounded up to him, wagging their tails furiously when they saw Eric pulling on his sneakers. They were more of a hindrance than a help as they stepped over him but finally he was ready, and after a few stretching exercises they all set off down the path to the lake, excited to be outside.

Early mornings were starting to cool down as fall approached and Eric's breath gusted out in a cloud as he set off around the lake. It was beautiful, and Eric took time to appreciate the mist rising off the lake and the varied calls of the birds breaking the silence.

He could understand why Thomas chose to remain here to write his books. It was so calm and peaceful. He snorted to himself as he realized he hadn't yet asked Thomas what type of books he actually wrote. For all he knew they could be bodice-rippers. He was looking forward to that conversation. It occurred to him how little he actually knew about Thomas. It hadn't progressed much beyond the mundanities of their day to day life.

Eric's feet pounded the well-worn paths. He could feel the slight strain in his muscles as the lack of training over the past week made its presence known. The dogs ranged on ahead, already familiar with these paths thanks to their walks with Thomas. He mused on how comfortably they had all settled into Thomas' home and life. The dogs loved the countryside, no doubt about it. They were always more relaxed at his parents' house than in LA, but here, it was like they were at home, and Eric felt the same way. He was anxious not to intrude on Thomas' work and time but in all honesty he felt no inclination to find somewhere else to stay for the remainder of his vacation, and Thomas didn't seem in any hurry to kick them to the curb.

He could see a path approaching that looked vaguely familiar but it wasn't the path back to the Big House. Eric realized with a shock that he was at the path to the cottage, and he almost tripped as his feet seemed to stop of their own volition. Thomas had made him promise not to visit the cottage after the fire and since then it hadn't really crossed his mind. But now he was here Eric needed to see the remains of the building, if only to remind himself how lucky he was to still be alive.
