rolling contest had been held. When they got to
the top of the hill, both mother and son stood there in awe. “Cody,
this is spectacular!” “Mom, it’s like in a movie or something!”
    Walking down the other side of the hill they
saw a heavy mist-like fog hovering over a beautiful postcard worthy
scene. There was the lake to their left, straight ahead of them was
a little wooden bridge over a pond and there were two deer drinking
from it. In the distance they saw a big thatched roofed house with
a wrap-a-round porch and three miniature ponies in the yard. To
their right was a garden with a staggering amount of pumpkins
growing. To Catherine, the mist reminded her of spun sugar
surrounding the scene like looking through a panoramic Easter egg
and seeing all the beauty inside.
    The sight of a tractor pulling a big cart
full of hay came into their view. Catherine watched as the tractor
pulled up to them and stopped.
    “Hello, you must be Cody and Catherine. I am
Sebastian. Would you like a ride down to the house?”
    Catherine could not have imagined a more
perfect scene. Not only this phenomenal view, but also Sebastian.
He was about her age, tall and muscular, had a beautiful smile and
a welcoming hand reaching out to them.
    Cody ran and started climbing onto the
tractor. “Whoa, Cody, why don’t you ride in the back with your mom
for now? “
    “Cody, that is too high, come sit back here
on the hay with me.” Catherine told her son. “A hay ride, wow!”
Cody laughed. Sebastian brought out portable stairs and helped
mother and son up into the wagon. “Hold on, Cody, we have some
bumps to go over.”
    Catherine put her arm around her son and
held on to the railing with her other hand. The deer did not
startle as they drove over the wooden bridge and Catherine was
surprised to see how dark blue the water was and how it glittered
in the sun. She couldn’t help but stare at the back of Sebastian’s
head and strong shoulders. She was glad that the short trip was not
conducive to conversation and she used this advantage to try and
collect her thoughts.
    So much had happened to them since the storm
forced them off of the expressway. It seemed like weeks ago instead
of only a few days. Everything looked perfect, but perfect was not
a word that usually defined Catherine’s world and she needed time
to wrap her head around these recent events and take time to sort
things out in her mind. This, of course, would have to wait, no one
could think straight in this setting right here and now, everything
looked magical.
    Sebastian pulled up to the very large Old
English style home. He helped Cody and Catherine down and said
“Well, what you think of the place?”
    “It is beyond gorgeous, but that would be
quite a long walk to get back to the hill, especially in the
winter, which is coming soon.” Catherine said.
    “That is why I am here.” Sebastian said,
then adding after he noticed the look of surprise on Catherine’s
face. “I mean, that is my job here. I oversee the house and the
land and make sure the inhabitants are safe and well cared
for.”
    “Do you live here too?” Cody asked. “There
is a cottage in the back and that is where my sister and I, and my
son Max live. Max is ten years old, how old are you, Cody?” “I am
ten.” “That works well, Max is at school right now, but you will
get to meet him later.”
    “Could you show us the inside of the house?”
Catherine asked. “Of course, the house is hundreds of years old,
but has all of the modern hook ups and electrical outlets. The
house if fully furnished, of course, and Thelma has instructed me
to keep the refrigerator and pantry stocked.”
    “For us?”
    “Yes. She and Luna are very grateful that
the house will have life in it again and are eager to do anything
to keep it that way.”
    “But, how did she know, how did you know,
that we would be here today? We only found out ourselves not more
than two hours ago.”
    “All I know is what Luna
