Daring Do and The Jeweled Opal
15
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWithout giving the stranger a chance to say another word you grab hold of him and pull him out of your house. There's a momentary struggle, but you're clearly more physically fit than the bookworm and manage to overpower him quite easily. In a matter of minutes he's out the door, practically stumbling over his own feet as he falls to the grassy ground. You slam the door behind you and lock it.
And the moment he's out of your sight, he's out of your life. No matter what proposition he might have had or adventure he may have led you to, you decided to throw him out. Serves him right for breaking into your house unannounced.
The Hermit Ending
You built this mountain cottage to be alone and after weeks of adventuring you're in no mood to have that quiet time interrupted. Adventure can wait. You need a break.
