âBRIGHT-EYED AND BUSHY-TAILED,â Olaf said. âYou hear the wolves?â
âI looked for them.â Noah stopped in the kitchen.
âThereâs a pack in the neighborhood. Their turf comes right up to the shore across the lake. Far as I can tell anyway. If youâre quiet and sit still long enough, sometimes you can see them watering themselves in the morning.â
Noah filled the kettle and put it on the stove.
âI saw you down there listening. Awfully brisk morning to be out in your skivvies.â His fatherâs union suit hung on him, and he had the afghan slung over his shoulders like a shawl. âTwenty-eight degrees according to the thermometer.â He pointed out the kitchen window.
âIâll bet itâs five degrees colder once you get away from this house. Youâre killing me with these fires.â
âI canât feel it,â Olaf said, dropping back on the sofa. âI canât get warm enough.â
âThat why you slept on the couch last night?â
Olaf nodded, settling back under the quilts. âThe bedroom gets so cold.â
Noah sat in the chair. âIâll get back at that tree in the gulch today. Weâll restock this place with firewood yet. And Iâm going to get that chain. Iâll leave as soon as I finish the coffee. You want to come with?â
âIâll stay put. But you can take my truck again if you want. Knutsonâs opens at seven. Better fill the gas can, too.â
âI will.â
Olaf laid his head down on the pillow and let out a long, quiet sigh. âI feel better today, out here on the sofa. Like Iâm on vacation or something. A night at the Ritz.â
âIf only we could call for room service,â Noah said, getting up. âI could use one of those breakfasts you were talking about last night.â
âTheyâve got good cinnamon rolls at the Landing. Bring a few back with you.â
âIâll do that. Donât go anywhere.â
A smile turned up half of Olafâs mouth.
