“I think just enjoying what you do is a lot. You’re lucky. Most people don’t get to say that,” Eden said.

“That’s true. We’ll drive up to the main house to get you checked in. I already know which cabin you are in, so I’ll drop everything there if that’s okay.”

“That would be wonderful. Thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome. I enjoyed talking to you. You remind me of my mom, although you’re younger than her.”

“Really? How?”

“She’s as sweet as can be.”

“That’s very nice. Thank you. I’m probably around the same age as your mom.”

“No way,” Randy blurted. “My mom is forty-seven.”

“I’m forty-two. My daughters are out of college and working in the city.”

“You don’t look your age.”

“I get that a lot. My mom was the same, and I take care of myself, so that helps.”

She grinned when Randy cringed. “What?”

“You couldn’t pay me enough to live in a city.”

“Me, either. They think I’m crazy.”

They both laughed.

“Here it is. Do you need help down?”

“I don’t think so, but if I suddenly disappear and you hear a thump, you might want to come and check on me.”

Randy threw back his head and laughed. “This seminar is going to be so much fun with you.”

“That’s very sweet.” She opened the door and slid out, landing on her feet. “Yay for me.”

Randy laughed again. “I’ll see you around, Eden.”

“Good. Thank you again.”

Randy waved as he drove away. He stopped in front of the first small cabin and took her bags inside. Ten cabins were off to the left of the main house. She had yet to learn how many people came to the seminars. She just hoped they were nice. It would make the next two weeks fun.

She walked up the steps and through a screen door. A small desk was off to the right, and the door to the living room was on the left.

“Hello, may I help you?” an older woman with mostly gray hair said. She was sitting at the desk.

“Yes. I’m Eden Montgomery. I’m here for the seminar.”

The woman smiled. “Yes. Have a seat, and I’ll go over some things with you.”

Eden sat in a chair across from the lady.

“My name is Mary.”

“It’s nice to meet you.”

Mary smiled. “Let me go over the release of liability.”
