W alker raised his head and yawned. He looked over at Maggie who was still asleep. Since they’d been in the mountains, he had been waking up early. It must be the fresh mountain air.

He eased closer to Maggie and rested his head on her stomach. She stirred in her sleep but didn’t wake up.

Walker knew today was going to be special. Cindy’s parents were coming. He could sense how happy she was. Her parents would protect her from that bad guy, Tony.

He wondered how long he and Maggie would stay in the mountains. He liked it here. While his vision might be getting worse, he felt more alive and vibrant since they’d arrived.

He most definitely liked road trips.

Walker sighed heavily, hoping the motion would wake Maggie. No such luck.

She’d stayed up after Cindy had gone to bed in the van and written in her journal. Once she began, she couldn’t seem to stop writing. Once the fire died, they’d crawled in the tent and went to sleep.

He dreamed of chasing bunnies in a meadow and squirrels up a tree. In his dreams everything was more vivid than in reality, and colors seemed to come to life.

Walker’s tummy rumbled and he shifted against Maggie.

Still she didn’t wake.

He snuggled against her and decided his only option was to go back to sleep.

Soon his eyelids grew heavy and he was chasing bunnies again in a meadow of purple flowers.
