"TAKE THAT BACK!" I screamed to myself but it was too late to recant. What was said, was said. What's done is done. I knew how much the words had hurt. Why did I say them? Why hadn't I bit my tongue?
It was autumn, my favorite time of year. I don't appreciate the heat of summer so taking long hikes were reserved for summer's end. My closest friend and I would often make a day of it. I would pack a lunch and we would head up the mountain. We were both a bit too old to walk that far, but would drive as far as we safely could and then hike a bit farther.
