In the morning, Crystal’s dad and the couple were up and gone while it was still dark out to get a start on hunting. The rest of us got up later. Crystal’s mom was making breakfast, and Crystal and I were watching the couple’s three kids. We stood next to each other talking quietly while watching the kids run around, waiting for breakfast. At first, we were really nervous about what we had done the night before and we would sort of smile at each other nervously and then look away.
Crystal whispered, “It’s too bad we got interrupted last night, ” and flashed me a grin.
“I know…um…I can’t believe we did that. I mean, well, I guess we did not really do it, but we started to,” I said quietly back to her.
“Uh, that counted as doing it. As far as I am concerned, we did it,” and she was looking at the ground nervously.
“Sorry, are you okay?”
Crystal looked at me and said, “Yes, I was the one who wanted to do it. I’m just kind of shocked we did is all.”
