looking forward.
“Remember he built a house for her instead ?” Mark added , rolling his eyes.
Connor fired back at them instantly “I can see that you two want to do the same. So why don’t the two of you get a room.” And they both went into silent shock after glancing at each other ’s red faces in the front seat.
A few minutes later they arrived at the destination; Jenny’s home.
Their white house still looks the same as ever. The only difference being that since t hey left for the weekend , the front yard was cut and the driveway swept.
T urning off the jeeps ignition , Jenny walked out side after hearing the motor’s familiar arrival . She remained a stunningly beautiful middle aged woman who ha s a taut figure. She was wearing a blue shirt and grey shorts and walked through the grass barefooted. Her shoulder length blonde hair and dark brown eyes made her look quite young. Connor and Sarah were getting out of the back of the jeep when she asked “How was the camping trip , kids ? ”
Kara quickly said “The weather was very beautiful, but Brother just had to find the colde st stream for us to bathe in.” Sarah saw her shudder involuntarily. It really was a cold stream.
Jenny started laughing. “Anything exciting happed during the outing?”
All eyes zeroed in on Kara to see what story she went with. Kara said in a giddy way “We did see several tracks from wolves, but we didn’t get to see what they looked like. Brother counted seven different tracks in the pack. He said they had about seven in that pack. ”
I forgot about that. When the four of them we re trailing through the woods they discovered a pack of wolf prints and Sarah understood what the prints now meant. She rea ched for Connor’s mind because she couldn’t wait to tell him later . “Connor , when we found those prints you said that they were either chasing something or running away. Do you think that the grizzly ran them off?”
He didn’t let on that they were having a private communication, but he di d reply as he pulled out the bags from the rear . “A bear that big… I suppose that they woul d run away with a pack that size … You have a point. Thanks , well that solves why the bear tracked us.”
“Why would it track us?” Sarah’s mental voice became confused , but her expression remain ed calm .
“I noticed that the fruit trees, shrubs and most of the foliage was completely stripped bare. The bear was hungry and too slow to catch prey so it did the next best thing; it came after some careless campers. To him , we would be an easy meal or be able to scare us away so he could scavenge for any food we might have brought with us .”
Jenny caught Sarah’s attention by asking “… so did you have fun with everyone?”
“Yes I did , Jenny. It was informative.” Kara turned to offer a tight lipped smile her way. Sarah returned a smile back to her. She really had relaxed from the earlier meltdown.
“I’m just glad you were all safe .” Jenny gave her a loving smile. Sarah could always respect a woman who raise d her kids as sing l e mother and still have love to give . “ Did you learn anything new?” Apparently Jenny wanted some more details.
“Let’s see…” Sarah tapped her bottom lip with a fingernail. “I saw how well the boys made a shelter and it was placed so that the night winds didn’t freeze us.”
“That was a smart idea.” She turned her head to the side to look at Connor. She was up to something, but what could it be? “Was there any trouble that you aren’t telling me about ?”
“Nothing Mark or I couldn’t handle .” He said nonchalantly , wearing his handsome s mile while Kara coughed , to cover up a laugh.
“Connor , are you trying to give her enough information to figure what happened?” Sarah mentally chastised.
“Watch…” and he was right. Jenny took Connor ’ s answer with a smile of reassurance and walked with Kara back into the garage. “Mom knew
