Vacation in the Mountains

The road itself ended on a sturdy shed a half mile behind; from there, a steep path climbs following the cascading mountain stream, just far enough from it to not be slippery with droplets of water; each curve of the way offers a view of a miniature rainbow lit up by the morning sun

Inside the cabin, a big, overstuffed and comfortable couch sits in front of the fireplace, a thick fur rug decorating the floor. The entertainment system is modern, but not ostentatious: a big-screen TV with matching speakers tucked in the corners of the room.

Bookshelves hold collections of reading material, and curios display keepsakes, mementos and knickknacks of several kinds. There is a kitchen and dining room, and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, the whole place following the same theme of comfort and commodity.

The conveniences are much more modern than the cabin accommodations Weyland is used to, but he does not object. He glances around as he steps in, small weekend-bag in hand.

Hopefully he will also give a word of approval: she likes the contrast of wilderness outside and modern convenience inside, and while The Devil picked the location to cater for his tastes, she also wanted it to include some of hers.

Spirit of indulgence or not, she is ready to start sweeping away anything Weyland disapproves of.

He would not be so rude as to express disapproval with anything. He's a guest, after all.

And anyway, she has seen to their every need, and this is their vacation, not just his.

He sets the bag down by the couch. "You've chosen a beautiful place, my star," he says quietly.
