When morning came, the two men were entangled in the bed sheets, and in each other's arms as well. The sunlight from the small window, leaked in, causing Nick to squint when he finally woke up. Memories from last night filtered through his head, and he smiled to himself. Last night was practically the best night of his life, and he knew that Luke probably felt the same. He sighed, and looked down at Luke who was still fast asleep. Judging by the sunlight, it was probably already midmorning, and everyone else in the ski lodge was probably already awake. In fact, he could even hear voices chattering away downstairs.

"Luke..." Nick whispered, gently shaking the other man. "Luke, wake up." He said once more.

"Hm?" Luke asked, groggily, opening his eyes slowly.

"We slept in." Nick explained, gesturing to window.

"Shit." Luke muttered to himself as he tried to sit up. He then a few moments to stretch, and get the sleep out of his eyes. "Did you sleep good?" He asked, looking over at Nick with sleepy eyes. He wanted to stay in this bed with Nick for as long as he could. It felt like their own personal heaven of some sort, and they didn't want this moment to end for anything in the world.

"Yeah." Nick nodded, "It was nice to actually sleep in a bed again."

"Agreed." Luke added.

"We should probably get downstairs." Nick pointed out.

"Yeah." Luke said, and the two men got out of bed and got dressed in their dirty clothes from yesterday. Once they made sure the room was half decent, both of them headed downstairs to greet the others. When they got downstairs, they saw everyone sitting at the tables, eating more peaches and beans for breakfast. "Morning." Luke greeted once he and Nick approached the tables.

Sarita smiled at them, "Good morning you two."

"Morning." Nick greeted.

"Would you like some breakfast?" She asked, gesturing to the food on the table.

"Sure." Luke accepted, and he and Nick sat down at the table and began eating. Everyone joined in some small talk while they ate, and it seemed that everyone enjoyed staying there so far. Luke just hoped that after everything that went down with Kenny the day before was forgotten. Because if Kenny didn't like them, then there was no way in hell that he was going to let them stay here. And there was no sign of Carver so far, so that was a very good thing. Maybe they lost him in the mountains?

Walter then approached the two men, "So Kenny and I were talking," He started.

"About?" Nick asked, looking up at the balding man.

"We've decided that you and your friends can stay here for as long as you need." Walter informed. "Kenny has put his differences aside, and he said he doesn't mind." He added.

"Well, that's great." Luke said. "Thank you very much, have you told the others?" He asked.

"Yes, I have." Walter said.

After breakfast, the large group decided to just relax. The ski lodge had books, and board games, and even a couple of CDs for the boom box that was there. Regardless, everyone had something to do, and they were happy for the moment. Nick and Luke were in their own little conversation, when Clementine approached them. "I need to talk to you both." She spoke, and there was a certain urgency in her voice for her being just a little girl. "It's important." She added, looking both of them in the eyes.

"What is it?" Nick asked.

"Follow me." Clementine said, and led them into the kitchen where they could talk in privacy. She didn't want anyone to hear what she was about to say, because it was a dire situation. She had pieced some things together, and had made a revelation. "That guy on the bridge was Walter's friend. It was Matthew." She said, in a low whisper.

"How do you know?" Luke asked. "That guy could have been anybody."

Clementine pulled out a small picture that she had found, "That's him, and he still isn't back yet because Nick killed him." She explained. "And everyone is still asking about him..." She trailed off once more, worried that what Nick had done had jeopardized their chances of being able to stay there with the ski lodge group. She didn't want them to be kicked out, because they were safe here.

"Shit." Nick managed to get out. He knew he had fucked up for sure now. "Oh fuck, oh fuck..." He trailed off.

"Hey Nick, come on, don't blow it." Luke said.

"Blow it?" Nick asked incredulously. "It's over man, he'll fucking find out."

"Nobody knows yet." Clem said, "But I think you should tell him." She said to Nick.

"Seriously?" Nick questioned. "You really think so?"

"It's the right thing to do." Clementine replied.

Luke jumped in, "It's right to get Nick killed? Because that's what's going to happen."

"No." Nick shook his head, "I should tell, then I can stop feeling bad about it."

"You're really going to do it?" Luke asked. "If something happens to you-"

"Nothing's going to happen." Nick said.

"How do you know?" Luke retorted.

"I just know, okay?" Nick answered, "Walter's not that kind of guy. I'll go talk to him now." He said, and went to go find Walter. The man was sitting by the fireplace, reading a thick book that Nick had never heard of before. "Hey Walter?" Nick asked, already nervous as hell. "Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" He asked, his voice already shaking. He looked back at Luke for reassurance.

"Sure, Nick." Walter stood up, and he and Nick walked outside for a few moments.

"Um," Nick struggled with his words, "Well, you're probably wondering where Matthew is..."
