the others, was after
Freddy, chimed in. “Somebody looks like they’ve been making out!”
    The cabin erupted in shrieks, causing Sashi to turn red.
    “I’ve got to see this,” Bridgette declared. She got off her bed
and moved in on Sashi for a closer inspection.
    Bridgette was tall and curvy with long blond hair. Freddy liked
all types of women. He’d hurt Kendra when he’d brought her up here letting her
think she was the only woman he cared for. Little did Kendra realize she’d be
competing with four others!
    “Can you guys just leave me alone?” Sashi said.
    “No!” Bridgette declared. “You’ve been Little Miss Goody
Two-Shoes all summer and this is pretty exciting.”
    “Go back to sleep.” Sashi rolled her eyes and headed over to
her bed.
    “Hold on just a second!” Blake called out.
    Sashi groaned. No. Not Blake Carrey, the beast from Boston with
the looks of a movie star and blond hair cut to her chin. Kendra knew that
Blake’s perfectly tanned body came out of a spray bottle from France and her
personality came straight from hell. Blake had made Kendra’s life miserable up
here. She was obsessed with Freddy and convinced he was going to propose to her
this summer.
    “What do you want, Blake?”
    “Who’s the guy? What makes him so special? Come on. Tell
us.”
    Sashi turned around to face the woman. She didn’t care much for
Blake, whose constant complaining over the hard work got on everyone’s
nerves.
    With a smile she said, “He’s none of your business.”
    “Don’t tell me you finally got it on with Mac!” Blake stood in
front of her in satin pajamas that seemed so out of place up here in Alaska.
    Sashi laughed. “Oh, if you only knew the truth.” At that she
turned around and began to get things out of her bag. “Why don’t you go back to
bed, Blakey? You need your beauty sleep.”
    Sashi left for the latrine/shower house with her bag of
toiletries. She needed to brush her teeth and wash her face. It was amazing how
the guests got indoor plumbing and every modern amenity, while the workers lived
back in time. Mr. Marshall had never gotten around to bringing the workers’
cabins into the twentieth century, never mind the twenty-first.
    As she walked the short distance to the latrine, she heard
laughter. But a loud bang from the door made her turn around to see who’d
followed her. “Kendra! You scared me!”
    Her tall friend caught up with her in seconds. “Sashi, what the
hell? You’ve never done this before. You’ve got to tell me what happened
earlier.”
    “I’m sorry. But I met the hottest man ever.”
    Kendra stopped walking and stared at Sashi in the moonlight.
“Are you drunk? Is this the same Sashi I grew up with?”
    Sashi didn’t want to stand out in the dark. This was bear
country and she knew the rules, so she continued to walk. “Seriously, Kendra,
you have to swear not to tell the girls.”
    They reached the smelly outbuilding that serviced the
employees’ needs. She headed in and Kendra followed. “Sashi, you and I don’t
like any of those girls except Natalie. Who would I tell?”
    “You’d tell Freddy!”
    “Not true. I can keep secrets.”
    “Promise?” Sashi’s heart was pounding as she washed her
hands.
    Kendra sounded exasperated. “Pinkie-promise.”
    “Okay.” Sashi started to change clothes. “There was this hot
bush doctor who flew up from Ketchikan today. His name is—”
    “Dr. Stevens.” Kendra finished the sentence for her.
    She felt a wave of jealously sweep through her. When had Kendra
met him? Sashi was only half-dressed in her thermal top. “How do you know
him?”
    Kendra laughed. “Girl, you look so upset! I was working at the
reception desk when he arrived and I took him to Mr. Marshall. He was pretty
hot.”
    Sashi nodded. “Yeah.”
    “I’m not going to tell you anything more until you tell me how far you went.”
    “We only kissed. I didn’t want to do more. He’s asked to see me
again.” Sashi
