Chapter 6

Tuesday morning, right after breakfast, they finished the unpacking. When it was finally done, and everything had its place, they went out shopping for a computer desk for Jackson.

“I sure hope we can get this fast, and the rest of our week off will really be off. It would be nice to just spend time together,” Sydney told him. She was no stranger to hard work, but sometimes she just wanted to relax.

They found the desk they wanted, but it was one of those things they had to put together. Sydney frowned. “I had a college professor tell our class that the true test of a marriage is being able to build something together without killing each other.”

He laughed. “Well at least we’ll know in the first week if we should even bother to keep going.”

“I don’t know about that… Maybe I’ll just build the chair and you can build the desk, and neither of us will have to hate the other forever and ever and ever…”

He shook his head, sliding the desk into the back of her truck. “Let’s get some lunch, and then we’ll go build this stuff. Then the rest of our time off can be real time off. You could take me to your park, and you can show me around town.”

“All right. What kind of food are you in the mood for now?”

“I want some Thai curry. Anywhere in town have Thai food?”

“We do, but I burned myself out on Thai a few weeks ago. I had it for every meal for two weeks.”

“Hmm…well, let’s think then. Just American food?”

“That works, I guess. Is there a good place for just plain boring American food?”

“Yeah, we have some fast food places, but we have some real food too. Let’s go to Bonanza.” She hadn’t been there in a while.

“What is Bonanza?” Jackson asked.

“Bonanza is basically all the American foods that the original pioneers coming through here would have made.”

“I see. So…salted pork?”

She rolled her eyes. “The things the original pioneers would have had that would appeal to people in our century. How’s that?”

“That sounds a lot better.” He watched carefully as she drove to the restaurant, noting that she drove way out of her way to get there. He was already understanding the basics of the small town, and she was driving a very different way than made sense.

After they’d ordered, he asked what she wanted to do for the rest of their time off.

“Have you ever gone whitewater rafting? You can do that with or without a guide here, and I want to do it. Badly.” She’d been thinking about whitewater rafting since she’d first moved to Moab.

“You haven’t yet?” He was surprised because she seemed outdoorsy to him.

“Not yet. I haven’t really had someone to do a lot of things with in this area.”

“Well, then let’s do it. Can we set it up for tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow is the fourth of July, so it’s probably booked, but I’ll try.” She picked up her phone and found the website, making a quick call.
