Two days later, about a mile into the Sierra Nevada wilderness, Brianna had to face a hard truth. So far, getting ready for this trip had been a lot more fun than the actual trip. She and Rollo had done all the prep work together. They'd found the tower, planned the itinerary, bought the provisions.
Beer and snacks had been involved too. And of course they’d had to break off for a movie now and then.
Rollo was so much fun to hang around with. The minute she got near him and inhaled his pine-needle-and-wool-sweater scent, she got a little happier. She figured that meant they were really, really good friends.
Right now, he led the way down the trail, shouldering an enormous backpack as it if were a beach ball. He'd crammed as much as possible into his pack, with Finn carrying the rest.
