Kachina stopped the rental car in front of Hania’s cabin. She loved this place, missed the four seasons and clean air. She leaped out of the car and threw her arms around her father. He hugged her back and called to his grandchildren. “My, how you guys have grown. You were only ten when I last saw you, Johan. Now you’re almost a man.” His grandson blushed. He didn’t think he was much of a man. His body was still gawky and skinny, not like Rune’s and Kjell’s. Hania turned his attention to Eveline. “Oh my goodness, Eva! How beautiful you are. You’re so like your mother.” Eva and Kachina both blushed. Eva embraced her Grandfather. “I’ve grown too, I’m nine now.” He dropped her back on her feet so he could take a proper look. “So you have. Goodness it’s been longer than I thought.” Johan helped him carry the bags into the cabin. They sat out on the porch drinking lemonade. His mom wandered off to the backfield to visit Annike. Johan shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around Hania’s land.
