Chapter 18

“It’s hot.” Glenn whispered as she dabbed her forehead with her hanky. “Too hot. And no air-conditioning to speak of.” She then quickly looked around her cabin. A wave of terror rippled through her for an instant, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she opened the door that thankfully led to the bathroom. “Good Lord, how can I shower in this?”

She wedged her way into the bathroom to see one lone, tiny shower stall with a curtain, a sink, and a toilet. She put a hand to her throat. “I’m on one of those prison shows. I feel claustrophobic.”

When she heard someone banging on her screen door, she nearly killed herself trying to get out of the bathroom. It was Addie. Glenn laughed watching her peer through the screen like a child.

“Wanna come out and play?”

“No. I just had a near-death experience trying to get out of the bathroom. That is a bathroom, is it not?”

“I see you’ve seen the facilities. They may be small, but at least there’s hot and cold water, and it’s not brown.”

Glenn offered a horrified look. “Brown? Brown water?”

“I’m kidding,” Addie said. “Sort of. I thought I’d take you on a tour of the camp and the lake. I have my cart outside. It’s all gassed up and ready to go.”

“Sure, let me get my helmet. Where’s Sophie?”

“Ugh. She’s with Maleficent. They’re talking to the counselors and the kitchen staff. Last-minute stuff while the kids get all settled in their cabins.”

“I thought Linda was the camp director.”

“You thought right. But remember, Sophie is a control freak. And so is Linda. We’ll hear fireworks later, I’m sure.”

Addie drove the cart down the gravel road. “Girl cabins are on the other side of the lodge. Can’t have the little darlings too close to the boys. Hormones and all that. Over here is the lake.”

Glenn followed the direction Addie waved. “Such a beautiful place. It looks so pristine.”

On the sandy beach were canoes turned over and leaning against one another along with several rowboats moored to a long dock jutting out from the shore. There were even two small sailboats on the other side of the dock.

“Impressive,” Glenn said as Addie drove farther down the path.

“Well, the canoes are old, and we need about five more. Sophie’s trying to cut a deal with a sporting goods store, but they’re being difficult.”

Glenn listened as she looked out at the lake. “Must be a good deal to contend with. You have to be careful about injuries.”

“Yes. We have good insurance. But they came by to check out the lake. Next year, they tell us, we’ll need new equipment. You know, roping off the swimming area with those buoys. They’re getting old. It was already here when we bought the place. It took us a few years to get this going. Sophie worked like a dog to get funding from the town and businesses. And it took forever to get it approved by the state and get it all up to code.
