He walked out of the storage room, climbing the stairs to the main floor of the Courthouse, and opened the great front doors all the way.
“Where d’you wanna go?” Wayne asked, looking back at her. “Heard there’re towns, hot springs, an’ even waterfalls hidden in the forest.” He grinned just for her. “I ain’t found all of ’em though. Maybe you can help.”
