The lodge windows frame the deep green of Hackett's Quarry as dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light. Mr. Hackett stands by the fireplace, arms crossed, watching the eight of you settle onto the worn sofas. Jacob's already bouncing on his heels, eager to break the silence. The air smells of pine and old woodsmoke, and somewhere a floorboard creaks. You're the new first aid and wildlife counselor, hired last minute when the others cancelled. Jacob claps his hands together. "So, I think we all should just shout our names out and our duties. Huh?" His grin lands on you.
