I spent the rest of my night looking out the window. Thinking, contemplating, wishing I had Internet access. After I made a fire in the fireplace and lay down by it, I called my mom and told her about my trip in the woods. I had a text from Kat, “Just checking in.” I replied back that I was fine and passed on telling her I was at the cabin. I knew her and she would have been in her car and there in a flash. I didn't want her to come. I needed to figure this out on my own.

The next morning, the sun woke me at the crack of dawn. I decided to go out for a morning run. I hadn't done that in a really long time, so it ended up being more of a morning walk. I stuck to the long driveway and county road this time. When I got back, I showered and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and then threw a sweatshirt over top. I pulled on socks and my tennis shoes and headed to the kitchen for a bowl of cereal. Faith was up with me and was doing a great job at remembering where her litter box was. She had already ate her breakfast of kitty kibble and was giving herself a bath on the sunny window sill.

Making the most of my time in the country, I took my cereal out on the patio to eat. It was the most amazing thing watching the country wake up in the morning. The trees turned on and started to glisten, the ever-so-calm lake sparkled in the sun, and the crisp smell of morning in the country was wonderful. In my experience, waking up consisted of the neighbor’s toilet flushing, hallway doors slamming and cars revving up in the parking lot. I absolutely loved this.

After breakfast, I headed out the door and into town. First stop was gas then on to Main Street, back to the little shop to talk to that old man, Reggie. I hopped he was there, I needed to get more information from him about the lake, what people saw, what stories he'd heard. I needed to know more about the history.

I walked into the shop at about nine-thirty. It was the middle of the week and early, so the town was pretty quiet. I headed towards the back of the store and took note that not much had changed. Reggie was in the back talking to a woman about a bear statue. I looked around while they finished the transaction. When he was done he came over and smiled.

“Well, hello, pretty lady,” he said with a wink. “I recognize you. You did something different with your hair, nice. I thought you'd be gone by now.”

“Hey, Reggie, thanks,” I said with a quick smile. “I was gone, and now I'm back. I was hoping you'd remember me. I need to talk to you. Is there a good time when you can talk to me.
