+# Ioan Bălan --- 2350
+
+Through some stroke of luck or perhaps some forgetful nature, it was perpetually early summer at Arrowhead Lake, that abandoned mountain lake sim Ioan and May had long ago adopted. Whether or not winter had sacked in their home, they could at least take a summer walk somewhere.
+
+"Winter has its place," ey'd explained to May when she'd gotten particularly whiny about the snow. "I like the snow so long as I'm inside."
+
+"Did you ever even see snow, my dear?"
+
+Ey'd shrugged. "Sure. We'd get dumped on once or twice a year."
+
+"And was that pleasant?"
+
+"Well, no, but--"
+
+She'd laughed at em, then, shaking her head. "I like our porch swing. I like our lilacs and dandelions. Sometimes, I just want to lay in the grass and overheat. I have been betrayed by our weather."
+
+So it was a good out when it got cold. They could duck off, alone or together, to the lake and head for a walk.
+
+May had chosen the name Arrowhead Lake over Ioan's protests that it looked nothing like an arrowhead, being more kidney shaped. The sim was called Peak Lake#587a9383. Maybe it was just Peak lake? This seemed to have only emboldened her, and ey was firmly overruled. 
+
+Whenever ey walked out there without her, as ey did today, ey'd think about this. Maybe it had little to do with the lake itself. Maybe it had to do with the silhouettes of the pines, or something to do with way the snow lingered on pointed peaks.
+
+"Or maybe she's just a brat," ey mumbled, smiling to emself as ey walked slowly along the deer trail.
