Sarion and I follow Micah to an RV in the cart back of the group of RVs. Behind the rows of trailers is a fairly large farm area, overflowing with crops of almost every variety. To the right is a small hut, presumably where the guard dogs live. To the left is what seems like a meeting center with a podium at the front and chairs lined up facing it.
Micah opens the door of an RV at the end of the row and grins. Sarion and I step in and look around, takin in what looks like will be our new home.
It is not small, but most definitely not large. There is a small kitchen area in the front with a couch and a table on the opposite side. The couch sags little bit toward the middle but looks incredibly comfortable (especially after the hours of riding in the old Ford convertible). I walk farther in and see a bathroom and shower, followed by two beds in the very end of the RV separated by a partition through the center of the small room.
"How did you know I was coming" I ask, turning to Micah.
She smiles at me again "I had a feeling you weren't gonna get the life you needed either"
The thing about Micah is that you can not have any secrets with her
She will read you like a book.
She turns to walk away, but I grab her arm and stop her. She swivels around on her heels to face me. "Thank you. For everything." I say. Without Micah, I'd be stuck in my house, and stuck with a life I will not live.
