Being a warm evening in June she decided to skip her wrap.
She drove along the center of the quaint village where Amish
farms dotted the landscape. It was another twenty-minute drive to the
countryside on the upper north side. As she passed the forested area,
her thoughts rushed back to her school days when she learned of how
the area was home to the Shawnee tribe and how most of this land
was touted as sacred grounds. As a child, she’d always wanted to
explore the area. Her thoughts quickly turned to Reed and their
upcoming engagement party next week. I know I love Reed and
hopefully can make him happy. I could never compete with his former
girlfriends. I wouldn’t even begin to try.
Linarial pulled into the drive of the Lake House and checked her
makeup in the rearview mirror. She added a fresh coat of sparkly lip-
gloss.
Reed met her at the door. “You look gorgeous!”
“Think so? I wasn’t sure—“
“Come—let me show you the house before the Jensons get here,”
Reed stated.
Linarial was eager to see the house and especially the grounds.
The large wood-beamed ceilings and wall-to-wall fireplace reminded
her of a ski lodge. She imagined what it would be like to make love
to Reed in front of the fire. She knew they’d be looking for a new
home after they married and wondered if maybe this might be the
perfect home for them. She’d wait till later to bring it up.
The Jensons were just pulling up. Linarial didn’t feel comfortable
while Reed was working, so she told him she’d explore the grounds.
