Prologue



"Michaela, do you really want to do this?" Sully questioned his wife.

"I promised myself I'd get to the top. I think now is a good time to try again." she laced her hands through his as they sat on their porch steps looking up at the distant stars.

"What about Seana and Katie?" he asked. "Are you going up there alone?"

"I think their father can manage alone. I've asked Colleen, Sarah, and Katrina…."

"Climbing Pike's Peak, Katrina? Luke's barley one." Matthew argued.

"I've been staying home with no one to talk to, but Luke. You know I love you two, and your firm leaves you very busy, but I want to do this. I need a change of pace, a change of scenery. " Matthew leaned over and kissed his wife on the lips. After years of living with Dr. Mike he knew better then to try and keep Katrina from what she wanted to do. Katrina's heart busted with energy. She couldn't wait to go, to be doing something different. She leaned over and kissed Matthew back.

Two days later, Michaela, Colleen, Katrina, and Sarah headed for Pike's Peak, leaving behind four men to fend for themselves.
