Novel and Campus Visit

Nap

I am writing a book about restoring a family to nobility after 50 years or so of their position being hidden away from the world. I am at the same time a character in the novel who is in love with one of the nobles. My readers suggest that I am focusing on the wrong person - the grandpa - when I seem much more interested in the storyline following his grandson, the one I am in love with.

Later, I go with my extended family to tour the student union at the U, which has apparently had some remodeling done. Luke, who worked there when we were undergrads, is still there. I am disappointed to see that he has taken up smoking. He says that I can guide my family around, but I have to tell an employee where I am going. My dad requests that we go upstairs. Luke hears the request and we go up.

There are two swimming pools behind the union now. It is stormy outside, so we do not go swimming. But we do manage to find a wooden ice skating rink, where my sisters and I start figure skating - only without actual skates. There is a class going on that we somehow don't disrupt, even with half my family just sitting out in the middle of the rink and my sisters and I "skating" around through the class. At some point during this, the rink transports to BYU.
