          “Where can I rent a bike?”

          It’s day three of vacation. Jane doesn’t really like these things--she hates the interruption to her daily routine, the lack of contact with her work colleagues, the feeling of not being surrounded by her own, comforting possessions--but Dorothy’s been drained by weeks of exams and she wanted to give her a chance to get away from the pressure of her obligations, to go somewhere she didn’t have to think about her grades, her future. Dorothy wouldn’t just let her pay for a vacation for one; she wanted Jane to come along, too.

          And now it’s day three and they’re tired of each other. Jane loves her daughter, but as adults, they chafe. They need time apart so that Dorothy won’t be drained by her hovering, so that Jane won’t do something to embarrass her, so that they can get along better when they are together. She’s left Dorothy upstairs, still sleeping, and interrupted the solitude of the woman who runs the bed and breakfast where they’re staying.

          “I want to go here.” She has a map of the local trails and nature spots, bought on her and Dorothy’s way into town. She offers it; there’s a set of local caves circled on the page. “Have you been there? Is it close enough to ride? Will I have to hike part of the way?” She can manage that, she thinks. “I read that there were unique formations in this one. It’s the proximity to the river.”

a hiss draws from her lips, brow creasing and teeth baring as    she stumbles   back slightly, arms raised.  what a cliché,  she thinks  --  to have one spill coffee  upon her as she enters and they leave,    and it takes all of her    self control not    to curse aloud vigorously.    her hand flicks,   hot drops of   caffeine flying off the   back of her    hand and she    looks   up slowly,    glaring at   the woman with   a now half   empty   cup  of   granny's   finest  brew.
