We spent that first afternoon doing the practical things.
We turned on the propane, bled the lines, checked the stove, brought in water from the truck because Lowell's hand pump needed priming, and we hadn't brought the right fittings.
We decided we'd stay the weekend, get a feel for the place, figure out whether we wanted to keep it or sell it.
Neither of us said it out loud yet, but I think we both already knew we'd sell.
It was a beautiful place, and it was a lot of place, and Wesley had a wife and a baby coming, and I had no use for forty acres in the deep woods.
And a cabin like that is a thing that needs a person living in it, and tending it, or it goes to rot fast."
We were already in our heads the men who would sell it.
We built a fire as it got dark.
We used the seasoned wood from the shed, not because of the tape, but because only a fool burns green wood.
It pops and smokes and gives you nothing.
So that rule at least had a plain reason behind it.
and we honored it without thinking of it as honoring anything.
We ate, and we drank a little, two beers each.
I want to be precise.
We were not drunk, and we talked about Lowell, and the talk kept circling back to the tape because it was the strangest thing in the room, and you couldn't not look at it.
Around 10 o'clock, Wesley got up to get another beer from the cooler, and on his way back, he stopped at the door and put his hand on the bell rope.
Don't, I said.
I said it lightly.
I want to be honest about that too.
I didn't say it like a man warding off a curse.
