"Joanna Beth, you come on out now!" Ellen's been hollering at Jo for the last ten minutes and her daughter shows no sign of exiting the lake. It's getting to be mid-afternoon and the Roadhouse has to be opened up in a few hours.

"Come on, Mom! Just a little bit longer?"

"You said that ten minutes ago. Out. Now."

Jo laughs. "Come get me."

"All right," Ellen warns, "you asked for it." She runs into the water, dives, and comes up directly below her giggling eight-year old.

"Do it again," Jo cries.

Ellen grins. Opening the Roadhouse can wait.
