Bab 87: Chapter 88

The parking lot at the Skye Motel was nearly filled when Sophia and Logan pulled in, a testament to the many tourists in the area for skiing and other winter sports so readily available. The place was a fairly recent addition to northern Maine hospitality. She still remembered its grand opening only a few years earlier, on a very cold day in winter. Almost at once, skiers and snowmobilers had begun filling it, followed in the spring and summer by fishermen and hunters and just plain vacationers.

Ric had reserved an efficiency unit there for each of them- "more space and better to make yourself comfortable," he'd said. It would definitely do for however long they were there. Sophia appreciated its hominess and amenities as she closed and locked the door. She was definitely ready to put aside the tension of the day.
