It had been almost two years since David Torrey had moved to Maine. He had, of course, visited his friends, as often as he could. He had gone down for the Halloween Party he wanted to have, everybody was excited to see him, he was happy to see everybody. After that, he had visited in November to, just to see everybody again. In December he saw "The Return of the King" with everybody, except Kristin, because she didn't go, but he did make it up to her by taking her out to a very good dinner.
Over the next year, things became harder, he didn't get into the Art School he wanted to go to, so he was still in Maine, with his parents pressuring him to go to school there. During the summer, his visits became less and less frequent, although everybody that could took a trip up to see him, Dave took them all camping.
It was Holly who had noticed it, Dave was now a bit more rugged, he was getting very strong, very stocky, he also seemed very at home in the woods, he seemed to never stop, they went on a hike and all the time he would run ahead of them and climb a tree, seeing what was coming. Holly simply attributed it to "Maine Air," and thought nothing of it.
Then Dave's visits stopped; there was no word from him at all. His parents said that he had moved out, apparently to upstate New York, Chris and Kevin kept trying to find him; they wanted him to live with them, as their plans of an apartment seemed very real. They had been looking all of their sophomore year. Kevin and Holly were trying to keep their relationship together, although Holly was in Rhode Island for college. Chris and Jessica had done well in keeping their relationship together, she had gone to Holyoke Community College, but only until she could transfer to Westfield.
Sarah had done quite a vanishing act too, going to college in upstate New York. Chris kept asking her if she had heard from Dave, which she hadn't. Kristin had a good job as a chef and was somewhat working her way through HCC, although a very good cooking school was interested in her, she did not know it.
Now everybody is on their way back home, they should all be reaching town in a week or two, and when I say everyone, I do mean everyone...
