Vacation in the Mountains

The road itself ended on a sturdy shed a half mile behind; from there, a steep path climbs following the cascading mountain stream, just far enough from it to not be slippery with droplets of water; each curve of the way offers a view of a miniature rainbow lit up by the morning sun.

The cabin is built with classic, durable Old World workmanship combined with modern conveniences; a satellite dish on the roof and a central air unit by one wall reveal the presence of such upgrades to modern comfort. A wooden swing hangs from dual chains on the porch, swaying gently in the breeze. The lake that feeds the stream is perhaps fifty yards from the cabin itself, the scent of cold, fresh water mixing with the pine and grass on the wind. A raccoon drinking from the lake looks up, then scampers away, chittering in displeasure at the intruders into its domain.

"It will be beautiful."

He thinks of her in her world, in the ice.

And it reminds him of the frozen lands of his own world...

Memories that come back to him whether he wants them to or not.

"As will our time here. You've thought of everything, my star."

"Your being here makes it perfect enough," he says, and sets the glass down on the porch railing.

There's only one thing he could think of that might make it more perfect, but he pushes that out of his mind. He doesn't want to ruin this.

He understands probably as well as she does how in the end, nothing will turn out well.

Nothing ever has.

But life is change, and without the bad times the good times wouldn't mean anything.
