I really got a kick out of it at the beginning: A running jump!This one is huge, made out of pine with round posts at least a foot in diameter. The top of the mattress comes to above his stomach and he wonders if she has to take a running jump to get up into it when he notices the small, wooden step stool next to the bed.
(Actually, my grandmother on my mother's side had an old feather bed when we were little, and it was so high we did have to take running jumps to get into it! It came up to our necks when we were little. But what a great bed... huge! Have you ever heard John Denver's song, Grandma's Feather Bed? It so perfectly described my grandma's feather bed... and how much we loved it!) 8) What was it Denver sang... It'll hold eight kids, three hound dogs, and a piggy from the barn, or something like that. And at the end of this story, you have Max and Liz on the giant four poster bed at the end... together, as it should be. Of course! Loved the Candy scenes, too!
Cool story! :D
