Leah, counselor form sleepaway camp

       "Why do you have to go?"
       Leah laughs, her light brown eyebrows going up like they always do, so that she looks both happy and worried. " It's just for a bit," she says, giving her little sister a hug.
      "But..."
       " Ohh...you're so sweet! I'll come back soon, I promise." With that, Leah dances towards the door and disappears.

        The next morning Leah tiptoes downstairs, dressed to run.  Grabbing an apple, she heads out the door.
        Ahhh.... the feel of a fresh, free South Carolina morning. It's winter, so it's breezy. It feels good to Leah. She jogs along a lonely road, lined with forests and tall grass. So peaceful.
        Her thick blond ponytail bounces against her back. her feet hit the ground solidly. She loves to run.
