Soon, a taxi stopped at the lodge, and Benjamin got out. “Why this place?” he wondered and looked around. “If someone sees me here with her, they might get the wrong idea.” He went to the receptionist and asked, “Do you have a hooded jacket?” She looked at him from top to bottom. “This isn’t a store, mister.” “I know.
