Before the two of them is a log cabin; from the outside, it looks mostly finished: four sides and roof are all intact; a stone fireplace rises up one side of the building in various shades of gray. The cabin's few windows are curtained, keeping either one of them from getting a glimpse of the interior without first stepping inside.

"You can open them."
