Chapter 7

For now I glanced over our schedule. "So we don't have anything to do until tomorrow?" I mused.

"Nope. This is the free day to go wandering around," Susie explained to me. She pulled out another slip of paper from the brochure and unfolded it to reveal a map of the resort. There was the lake, the hot springs, and the lodge with its little cabin children. She tapped her finger on the hot spring to the south of the lake. "How about we go there first? If we hurry we could beat all the old people shuffling up there."

My eyes were on the lake. "I'd rather go see that again," I told her.

She frowned. "But we already saw that and the water's a lot colder," she whined.

"Well, how about you go to the hot springs and I go to the lake?" I suggested.

"It's hot springs or bust," she insisted.

"Then I'll take bust and go to the lake. See you later." I stood and sauntered toward the stairs.

"Hey! Wait! I'm not done complaining!" Susie shouted. She scrambled from her chair and hurried after me. An evil grin slipped onto my lips and I quickened my step. "I saw that!" she yelled.

"Not for long," I quipped.

I broke into a dash and raced down the stairs. Susie's feet pounded after me and I hit the lobby running. In a moment I burst through the front doors and down the gravel road with Susie at my heels. Our laughter hampered our speed and by the time we reached our cabin we were both winded. I bent over and put my hands on my knees. Susie collapsed on our porch.

"Now. . .do you. . .believe me?" she wheezed.

"About. . .what?" I choked out.

"About. . .the place. . .making. . .you feel. . .younger," she reminded me.

I gathered my breath and straightened. I winced when a few bones in my back cracked. "Not quite."

"Well, you'd better believe it because I haven't seen you run that fast since you and I shopped for apartments two years ago and the realtor guy showed us a really expensive one," Susie persisted.

"It was expensive, and I'll see you later," I replied. I walked toward the rear of our cabin toward the trails.

"Aren't you going to put on a swim suit?" Susie called to me.

"Not going swimming," I answered.

"Then what's the point of going to the lake?" she yelled.

I lifted my arm and waved to her without turning around. In a moment the trees swallowed me and I walked in the valley of the wilderness without fear. The traffic was light with only a few other guests who meandered their way to the hot springs. I moved with the traffic flow and left them behind when I turned onto the lake path.

First, though, I paused for a moment at the intersection of spa and lake. The broken sign from yesterday was repaired. Gone were the claw marks and askew post, and in its place was a freshly hewn and painted sign.
