A clothed man of about our age came out of the last cabin and asked if he could help us. We said we were looking for the start of the forest trail. He...replied that due to a landslip and overgrowth that this was now closed and that we best join the trail from the pond.We continued to talk, us naked, him fully clothed. He asked where we were from, how long we had been practising naturism etc. We asked how long he had lived here and were there other naturist opportunities in the area that he knew. I seriously doubt that any of my children will attend high school. Sam only attends my self-defense classes to complete her physical education required by her homeschool.

He releases my hand as we get close to the bed. He stops walking and stands behind me. My finger traces the silver embroidery.
