By the time Elsa reached Hut Three , the trail had narrowed between two ridges and the afternoon light came in sideways , golden and cool . The keeper turned from the stove and said : " Warm soup tonight . " Elsa sat at the register table and turned to a blank page . Elsa wrote : My left boot has a small hole near the toe . I feel it when the path is wet . I have not replaced it , because I bought it for a trip I almost did not take . That was three years ago . [ a small drawing of a boot with a hole ] . Tomorrow : cold in the morning , warm by noon . Pau came at dawn with Cebolla and the bread . Daniel 's page was under the loaf . Pau set it on the table and said : " I carry bread . Cebolla looked at the wall . Pau did not say how he knew about the boot . His question had been : do you always walk the same trail , or is this a new one ? She had her answer ready . She had already drawn his boot without knowing it was his boot . She did not examine this too carefully . That evening , Daniel arrived later than usual — churros with thick hot chocolate , he would tell anyone who asked . He read Elsa 's boot entry . Daniel wrote : I also have a thing I did not replace . A small notebook , blue cover , that I used to fill with plans . About a year ago , the plans fell apart . I kept the notebook anyway . I walk this trail alone because the trip was planned for two people and then it was not . I think you may understand this .
