“Nah, I’m fine and I think the exercise is helping loosen things up.”

They both went inside, Alicia immediately saw that the jars had been move, as she turned to ask, Bob said, “Over there, on the floor, you’ll have to take them below.”

Alicia nodded, then said, “Okay but first I’m going to clean up this place a bit then I’ll take them down. You better have a rest.”

As Alicia, cleaned the cabin, they chatted back and forth, each without realizing were seeing inside each other and also without realizing were form a bond from the exchange of stories, ideas and feelings.

Chapter 19

The next day passed uneventfully, they continued with getting acquainted, Spasmodic sunshine encouraged them to spend sometime outside and leaning back against the building they sat for over an hour, not speaking, each lost in their own thoughts. Before they went to bed that night Alicia examined all Bob’s scrapes, cuts and the large wound. Most of the minor wounds had already disappeared or were small reddish scars; the puncture had healed well with a well formed scab encircled by a red ring. She washed it once more with a boric acid solution and put a small bandage on to protect the scab. “It’ll be just fine,” she pronounced. “Keep that on for a couple of days and you should be as good as new.”

The day following after breakfast Bob said, “I hardly used the crutch at all yesterday afternoon, how about going for a walk to the beach?”

“Sure thing but we should take the thing along in case you need it at some point.”

“Nah, I won’t need it I’m really feeling pretty good.”

Alicia stared at him for a moment, then said “Okay let’s go, you lead off.”

As Bob limped off down the trail, she scooped up the crutch and swung it on to her shoulder and followed along.

When they got to the fork, Bob hesitated and Alicia said, “Let’s go to the closer one, if you are okay with that we can go to the other tomorrow or the next day.

Looking back Bob nodded, his eyes widened when he saw the crutch, he started to say something, thought better of it and moved on along the trail.

When they got to the beach they sat on a log for a few minutes and gazed out over the water.

Then Bob turned to Alicia, “Say, how about some fresh fish?”

“Good idea,” she replied. “How do we get some?”

“I have a rod and some tackle stashed over there,” he waved his arm down the beach. “I guess it actually belongs to you.”
