The Cabin

The thermometer hovered just above freezing, and Amy shivered as she ran to Drew’s car. She wore a heavy sweater and carried a wool coat. She seldom wore them together in Charleston, a couple of times in January, maybe, but never in early December. The air would warm when the sun rose, but they were headed for the mountains, where Drew owned a cabin near Asheville.

It was a long day-trip, but the cabin had been used as a weekly rental over the summer and Drew wanted to check on it. Jennifer’s family was going up the next weekend and they would use it several times once ski season began.

“It’s cold,” Amy exclaimed as she slammed the car door. “Way too cold for December. Thanks for suggesting the coat.”

“It is cold. It’s probably below freezing at the cabin.”

“I know that you spend summers there, but do you often go up during the winter?”

“We would usually drive up a couple times. Jennifer actually uses it more than I do.” He paused as he adjusted the heat.

“Thank you for letting me ride with you. I thought it would be nice to have some uninterrupted time together.”

Drew reached across the seat and squeezed her hand. “Thank you for coming with me. We were at the cabin last year when Di became ill. This will be my first time there since.”

“I didn’t realize…you didn’t seem excited when I asked to come. Is that why?”

“No, it will be good to have you with me. I was dreading the trip.” A sheepish look crossed his face. “I had originally planned to spend the night, and…”

Amy laughed. “Elaine would have gone completely ballistic. Honestly, she acts like we are teenagers with raging hormones.” She put her hand on his arm. “You’re sweet to think about that.”
