I was on my third cup of coffee and Demon still wasn’t back from wherever the hell he had gone this morning. I had woken up to an empty bed, Demon’s pillow wrapped up in my arms and a note on the side of the bed from Demon. All it had said was he had to run to town and would be back soon.

Well, that had been over an hour ago, and I was running out of things to do. I had discovered that winter at the cabin was a bit different than summer at the cabin. Demon and I went hiking and swimming all the time when we used to come here, but with over a foot of snow on the ground, both of those options were out of the question.

There was barely any food in the fridge so to keep my mind off of my grumbling stomach, I snooped around the cabin, discovering that although everything was updated, it was still very much the same. It was only a one-bedroom cabin with one full bath and one huge room at the front of the cabin that was the living room and the kitchen. It was small, but I had always loved coming here. It was a little vacation without having to go too far.

I was perched on the stool in front of the kitchen island when Demon finally came through the front door with six grocery bags filled full hanging from his arms. “You’re awake,” he said, surprised.

“It’s almost ten, Demon.”

“I know, but I figured you would sleep in.”

I shrugged my shoulders and drank the last of my coffee. “I normally wake up at seven each morning. Sleeping until nine was definitely sleeping in.”

“Well, I ran to town and got breakfast and groceries to last us a couple of days.” He plopped the bags down on the counter and rummaged through them. “Did you get a chance to look around at all?”

I grabbed one of the bags from him and emptied it out onto the counter. “As much as I could without having to put my boots on. The inside basically looks the same besides obvious updates you did.”

“Yeah, I didn’t come up here for a couple of years, and the place went to shit. Updating was more of necessity, not an option.”

I grabbed the pound of bacon and dozen of eggs and set them by the stove. I need more sustenance than coffee. “You used to love coming up here, why did you stop?” Every time Demon and I would make the trip to the cabin, it was like he was transported to a different world and he was so laid back. We had only come here four times together, but each time together was fantastic.

“I don’t know,” he said as he shrugged his shoulders. “I guess it just didn’t feel the same. I hired Stan a couple of years ago to get the place in shape and look after it, but this is the first time I’ve been here since.
