Chapter Five

“I’m just gonna assume that you know where we’re going. I’ve counted more than a dozen men dressed in camo shorts and filthy wife-beaters and at least a hundred mangy dogs of no particular breed that I’ve ever seen before. Are you sure we’re still in America? I packed an overnight bag but I haven’t spotted a Holiday inn or even a Motel 6, are we gonna sleep with the fishes?” Allie asked, but she felt happy and content as she and William drove along dirt and grass covered roads that were hardly wider than footpaths as they skirted the marsh lands surrounding the Atchafalaya Swamp Basin.

They had taken her new convertible and put the top down and the air rushing past them was pungent with the smell of green water and greener vines and vegetation. Cypress trees, some more than six hundred years old, reached skyward from their watery home. Their roots, known as “Cypress knees”, broke the murky surface of the brackish water and as the evening mists swirled amongst them they took on the appearance of a legion of hunch-backed sentinels standing watch.

So… let’s eat boiled crawfish and etouffee and French fried ‘gator tail and dance to zydeco music. How’s that sound? Tanya’s father has a place in Breaux Bridge, a Cajun resort you could call it, cabins, café, dance hall, the works. So, we’ll hang out in a log cabin with a big feather bed and lie around in a couple of hammocks under the oak trees keeping a lookout for alligators and water moccasins. Maybe we’ll join some of the locals for a fais do-do when all the children have gone to bed.”

“Mmm, I especially like the part about the feather bed, and the hammocks don’t sound half bad. As for the ‘fye dough dough’ and other stuff, I’ll just have to follow your lead as usual, but it seems like a safe bet. You make me happy, William, and I can’t imagine that I could ever be disappointed with anything you decide to surprise me with.” Allie said, unbuckling her seatbelt so she could scoot onto the center console and wrap her arms around William’s warm, wide shoulders.
