"How in the world did you find this place? It took you over an hour to find the café you passed twelve times."

"Well Google helps a little...You should know I would be on the lookout for little known places. Look how many times in Virginia I took you to the middle of nowhere and by the way, I never plotted to kill you any of those times so I don't want to hear another word about it."

"Sorry that did sound a little critical. It's just...beautiful here. I've not really had the time to go around visiting here with school."

"You got the time now?"

"Well...you made me make the time but I'm glad you did."

"And you've only seen the parking lot," said Shawn as he opened his door and stepped out, wishing his limp wasn't always with him; he had tried to get to the other side of the car to open Kelsey's door but was a little too late as she closed her door and looked to him with a small grin.

"So it's only a surprise to me?"

"I didn't already come here if that's what you're thinking."

Shawn opened the narrow door to the visitors center, holding it for Kelsey to walk in.

It was dimmer inside without the afternoon sun shining directly on them.

"Let's search for some shoes then a map."

"What all have you planned that we need a map?"

"Well, I don't know about you but I have no cell service here. I don't want to get stuck here all night...well, maybe if we were more prepared."

"No! I have school in the morning!"

"Look at you all grown up being responsible... I guess the girl who loved adventure is gone?"

"Not gone. I didn't suffer all these years trying to stay afloat to ruin it now, so...
