“So, here is your towel and this one over here is Mace’s. Keep them on this rack and remember to take them with you to the bathroom. These are the only towels you’ll use while you’re staying in the cabin. Do you need a washcloth?”

As if struck dumb, Maggie shook her head. Knuckles white, she pressed the towel to her chest, clinging to it like a life vest.

“Good, then you’re set.” Patty began to descend the narrow staircase. “Oh, I almost forgot, there’s one more thing. The only way in and out of our bedroom is through the bathroom. You’re welcome to shut the sliding door that opens from the main room into the bathroom, but leave the door from the bathroom into our bedroom open.”

Maggie made a croaking noise and tried to find her voice. “You mean you want me to make sure the door to your bedroom is open after I’ve finished using the bathroom?”

“No, I mean the door from the bathroom into our bedroom stays open at all times. I don’t want my cats stuck in my bedroom. Their litter box is in the bathroom.”

Maggie was horrified. “But what if…I mean, what if you’re in your bedroom and I’m using the bathroom, I can’t close the door?”

“Right.” Patty smiled. “Just leave it open. You won’t bother us.”

Before she could stop herself, Maggie blurted out, “Maybe it won’t bother you, but it will sure as hell bother me.”

Patty clucked at her. “You and Mace, you’re both such soft city dwellers. Up here we don’t worry about that sort of thing.”

No, up here you’re fucking certifiable. I have to spend five days with these people in the wilderness? I can’t do this.

As Patty descended the stairs, she called up, “Robert would like you and Mace to meet him in the boathouse before supper. Now would be a good time.”

“Where’s the boathouse?”

“Down the hill to your left, behind the guest cabin.” Patty vanished around the curve in the staircase.

Maggie looked around the tiny loft. She began to hyperventilate. Patty wasn’t kidding, the room was tiny. There was barely space for one person to stand without falling through the hole cut in the floor for the staircase. If she had to get up for any reason in the middle of the night, she was going to have to make a point of remembering not to get killed. The double bed was pushed up against a railing that was lower than the bed. Maggie climbed onto the mattress and cautiously peered over the edge, down to the first floor. Mace stood there, barefoot, his hands in the pockets of his jeans, grinning at her.

Maggie drew back from the edge. No way could she sleep on that side of the bed, and regardless of how she felt about Mace’s presence, she didn’t want him to sleep there either. One mistake and he’d end up impaled on the moose sculpture below. Sliding back off the bed, she sat on the floor, drew her knees up to her chest, and rested her chin on her hands.
