“You know you’ll be too busy to even miss me,” Madge teased.
She was surprised at the look which came into Jack’s eyes.
“I’ll miss you like everything, and you know it too, imp! Since the day you came to Loon Lake, just an undersized, freckled kid, you’ve been the only girl for me. You’re the sweetest—” he broke off.
“Go on!” Madge urged, laughing.
Jack shook his head and smiled.
“No, until you grow a few years you must take it for granted. But while you’re at Cheltham Bay you might think of me once in a while. And don’t be too surprised if you see me!”
He took her hand and together they went down to the lake to watch the moon rise over the spruce ridges.
