Chapter 7

When he finished the sandwich and the milk, Janet asked if he’d like another one. He shook his head. “I really should get going. I’m sure you have things to do and you don’t need me keeping you from doing them.”

Nolan put one hand on his shoulder to keep him from getting up. “It’s Sunday. The only thing we were doing was relaxing.”

Janet piped up, saying, “If you want, I can throw your clothes in the washer so you have something clean to wear. I’ve got the feeling what’s in that backpack has probably been worn more than a few times.”

“I, umm, washed stuff out in the streams.”

“With soap?”

“Well…”

“Yep, that’s what I thought. Now you give them to me and then just sit here and keep Nolan out of trouble. It won’t take more than an hour at best and I bet you’d like to stay off your feet for a bit ifyou’ve been walking all this time.”
