They entered the ranch and walked towards the house. Rachel walked and Marty hopped next to her in all fours. They arrived at the door and Rachel knocked it.
“Should I hide and only show myself after you tell her?”
“That is kind of a good idea” Rachel answered. “I mean she might not be so comfortable with this like I was…”
Marty smiled at her.
“Thanks, babe. Thanks for your support!”
Marty leapt out of the porch; he tried to cross the grass as fast as he could before entering the jungle again. He jumped over the taller grass and hid behind a fallen dead log where he could watch the house.
The door opened and a short curly red haired woman appeared. She happily hugged Rachel and both kissed and chatted for a while. Carmen peeked around and Rachel coiled: they were talking about him he was sure. Carmen invited her in and the door was shut.
“Oh boy…this will take a while to explain” he thought.
The fading sunlight was then the only sign he had of the passing time. Marty helped himself with a fly or two and termites he found in the dead log. The door then opened.
