Chapter Thirteen

Nolan and I continued to date through the next several weeks. I was able to basically put the discovery of the briefcase out of my mind, although I noticed that the black box stayed right underneath his bed, and it seemed to be staring at me every time I was at the cabin. We spent almost every evening together and many nights, we hung out in his cabin watching old movies and playing board games. It was so simple, yet so perfect.

The other evenings were spent doing very traditional Dells tourist activities. I took him to the famous Tommy Bartlett Ski Sky and Stage extravaganza, we saw the magic show, danced in the street to a live band playing downtown, tried out many of the mini-golf courses, hit the movie theater, tasted fare at the farmer’s market, and even got an Old Time Photo taken. I was wearing a flapper outfit and he wore a gangster suit. He held a bottle of whisky, and I got to hold a fake gun. It was all so much fun! I felt so comfortable with myself around him, and we seemed to complement each other so well.

As August came into view, Nolan had given me no other reason not to trust him, so I quit worrying about the briefcase, and I concentrated on enjoying the time I had to spend with Nolan.

I realized I had been so focused on Nolan that I hadn’t checked in with Kasie in a while. I called several times on different days and it always went to voicemail. I sent a text, which went unanswered for a few days until I finally got a reply:

Sorry girl! No time to talk! Had to take another shift at the pool and got a night job waitressing downtown. Maybe I’ll be able to pay for next semester now.

I was pretty sure that was her way of asking if my grades were okay, but I didn’t give her the bad news. Good for you! But don’t work yourself into the ground, I replied.

There was so much I hadn’t talked to Kasie about. Come to think of it, most of the summer flew by and I didn’t mention that Nolan and I were even dating. I decided to hold off that information until I was able to tell her in person; plus summer was more than half over, and although I didn’t like it, I was pretty sure my time with Nolan was limited. Even though it was constantly on my mind, that was one thing we never really talked about—what was going to happen when I had to go back to school? Would Nolan be ready for a long-distance relationship? Because I certainly didn’t want to end things soon. Would he be willing to relocate to Stevens Point? There seemed to be nothing keeping him here in this area of Wisconsin.

Part of me wanted so desperately to bring the subject up, but at the same time, I couldn’t find the guts within me to do it.
