Author's Note: Short chapters have become the bane of my existence. I end a chapter whenever the scene changes and let's face it, the scene changes a lot. So….you're gonna get lots of short chapters. Hope you enjoy it!!
Chapter 16
20 minutes later they pulled into the stone driveway. Katie got out quickly and ran into the cabin. Jack grabbed their bags and followed her. He found Katie standing in the middle of the living room looking around in shock.
-What's the matter, Kiddo?
-It's…it's different.
-How's that?
-Our cabin was…decorated.
-Decorated?
-Yah, you know, professionally. Like my bedroom at home. The living room was done in blues and grays. The kitchen was green. Your room was…
-Ok, ok, I get the point. And no offense, Kit Kat, but I'm getting a little sick of you saying how everything was in 'your universe'. I understand that you spent the last 17 years of your life there and that you've got a lot of memories. But, we're here to make new memories remember? Can we just try and have a good time and not think about the past?
Katie nodded, shocked by his words.
-Yah, yah you're right. New memories. Ok, just let me change and I'll be ready to go.
-You've got to change? Why?
Katie laughed.
-Do you really think I'm gonna wear black pants and a blue collared shirt fishing?
-Why not?
Katie rolled her eyes.
-Never mind. I couldn't expect a guy to understand. Be back in a flash.
She grabbed her bag and ran down the hall to the bedroom. A moment later she reappeared wearing khaki shorts, a green print t-shirt and a green floppy hat.
-Ok. I'm ready.
Jack smiled.
-Yah, I guess that does kinda look more like something you would wear fishing.
-Like I said. You got the stuff?
Jack nodded his head toward the lake.
-It's already out there.
-Cool.
They headed out the back door toward the dock.
