He'd woken up and found himself in an empty bed. There were some other clothes lying in the corner of the bedroom. He heard birds and the wind. When was the last time he'd heard nothing but that? He turned over and looked straight into the lounge. There were no doors in the cabin except for the main one in front. He could see Sarah, placing plates and coffee on a plastic table, in a purple dress and sneakers. It was a pretty dress, falling till her knees, a small white jersey covering her arms. She was humming something. Softly. He got off the bed, and walked into the lounge. He leaned against the frame of where a door should've been. "What a sight to wake up to..", he muttered. She looked up at him and smiled slightly, looking back down at her watch. Red. It was an odd one. Like a children's watch. She looked back at him and gestured to the clothes by the bed. "Morning. You need to shower and get dressed. We have a funeral to go to."

He grabbed his towel and took a look at the clothes. "I wasn't sure what you liked, but there isn't much of a choice in town. I just hope they fit.", she said turning back and sipping her coffee. He took a closer look at the clothes. A trouser, 2 pairs of jeans, some t shirts, a formal pressed white shirt, tie and socks. There was something in a plastic cover as well. Opening it, his face turned red. Underwear. There were boxers and tighty-whiteys. When he turned back to look at her, she wasn't looking at him anymore, but was positively smirking. She was by her board, looking for something in her bags. He sighed and went out to the back and started to run the shower. It was cold. He yelped out as it hit him. He looked around and saw a small bucket of steaming water. She'd prepared it for him. Grabbing it, he finished up and toweled himself up. Wrapping it around his waist, he walked back to the cabin and the room. She was still looking for something in her bags, more furiously now, her eyebrows furrowed, as he'd walked by. He was surprised at how well the clothes fit him. "Shit.. Shit-fuck-shit! Where is it?!", he heard her cry out in the room. As he walked back out, he saw she'd turned all her bags inside out. "What is it?", he asked walking over to get his cup of coffee. "His box. His black box. I put it in there for him and now I can't find it. I need to give it to him! I promised I would!", she said, her voice panicking.

As he munched down his breakfast, he looked around at the mess on her side. He looked back at the table and the box was right there. What a silly nut. "You mean this black box on our breakfast table?", he asked holding it up. A look of relief washed over her and she jumped over the mess, striding over to him. "Aaah thank God!". "You're welcome.", he added cheesily. She looked like she'd flashed him a look, but before he could really see what it was, her face was blank again. Her eyes were soft though. "Thank you, God Seven.", she muttered and watched him eat. After he was done, she placed his plate and cup into a bucket of water. "We should get a move on.", she said softly. He could see she was getting restless. He walked out behind her, after grabbing his keys and wallet. They walked out the cabin and as she reached the end of the clearing where the cabin stood, she opened up her bag and took out a polaroid camera, and a small remote. First she took a photo, and then pressed a button on the remote. She looked over at him,"Motion sensors. Sends images to my phone." "Wow! And the camera?". "It was cheap, but a good alternative to 24/7 surveillance.. "

"How do you charge the motion sensors?", he asked wondering how she could handle setting them up. Not that they were too complicated, but she never went to school or to college. He didn't want to delve too much into the camera story if she didn't want to tell him. "Solar power, so I never have to worry too much.", she replied."The photos are for James. It's his day after all." A smile suddenly appeared on her face "Why, hello there!", she cried out and held out her hand, squatting on the moss-ridden ground. He couldn't see what it was, until she held it up. A rabbit. She had a tiny rabbit in her hand. "Where's your mommy? You're not supposed to be on this side of the mountain, are you?", she kept speaking, animatedly at the rabbit. She walked by him and placed the rabbit into his hands. "She's so tiny in your hands", she said giggling and looking at how it was snuggling against his chest. She giggled again and took a photo of him holding the rabbit. He heard a rustle behind him and so did she. A couple of ears perked up and he could see bigger ones staring at them intently. "Go on now, go back to your family.", he said, placing the baby back on the ground. "There're quite a few wild animals here.", she said, still smiling. Her voice was so much more different now. She was walking beside him now. He liked that.
