I felt the car shudder to a halt. I didn’t budge, thinking it was another gas stop.
“Dude, Tyler, we’re here!” I heard Mike say.
We hopped out of the van, and shouldered our backpacks.
“Wow, Brett.” I heard Tod say. “Nice house.”
“Thanks.” Brett said.
I bet it looked really cool, too bad I couldn’t see….
The guys lead me into the house. The house was really cool, very comfortable, and, from what I could tell, huge.
We spent most of our time exploring the neighborhood and running outside, then coming back to the house to eat, sleep, and rest.
I called Hayley a couple of times, and she seemed really demoralized about me being gone. Every time I ended our calls with an “I love you and I’ll be home soon.”.
We were having a ton of fun. But with Hayley, not so much.
