I hadn't met them before.
I knew they existed, but the rumor was that they would be joining us at the cabin, presumably the night we got there.
We were gonna be there for three nights.
They were gonna join us.
And so without even telling Wolf or I, we sort of understood that they're going there to sort of fill the obvious gap left behind by Nick's dad's absence.
And so that's sort of what we think we're walking into.
And so the day comes.
It's just a couple of days later.
Nick's mom comes and picks me up.
And it's me, Wolf, and Nick in the back seat.
It's a big SUV.
And Nick's mom is driving.
And the front passenger seat is conspicuously empty.
That's where the dad would sit.
And so, you know, up to New Hampshire we go.
And, you know, at this point I've embraced the situation and I'm just looking to be a good friend.
So is Wolf.
We just go up there.
It is what it is.
we go up to the to the cabin and uh a couple more points about the cabin that are sort of important for the story is the cabin itself is situated on a mountain it's built on a mountain if you think about how you'd build a level house on a slope you got to sort of put half the house if you will out on stilts to keep it up supported and then the other half is sort of effectively built into the mountain you know to build something on a slope i guess i hope that makes sense
