Dear Alvirah and Willy,

I left early to do some cross-country skiing. There’s something I have to check out. I’ll meet you for breakfast at the lodge at 8:30.

Love,

Opal

With growing concern, Alvirah reread the note. Opal’s a good cross-country skier, but she doesn’t know all these trails, she told herself. They can go into pretty remote areas. She shouldn’t be out there alone. What was so important that she had to leave so early to check it out? she wondered.

Alvirah went over to the coffeepot and poured herself a cup. It had a slightly bitter taste, like coffee that had been sitting on the burner for a couple of hours. She must have left very early, Alvirah thought.

While she waited for Willy to dress, she found herself staring out at the mountains. Heavy clouds were forming. It was a gray day. There are so many trails out there, she thought. It would be so easy for Opal to get lost.

It was a quarter after eight. Opal had promised to meet them at eight-thirty. It’s silly to worry, Alvirah decided. We’ll all be eating a nice breakfast together in a few minutes.

Willy emerged from the bedroom wearing one of the Austrian sweaters he had bought at the gift shop. “Do you think I should learn how to yodel?” he asked, then looked around. “Where’s Opal?”

“We’re meeting her at the lodge,” Alvirah answered. I only hope we are, she thought.
