@@@@@How long would it take her to go back to San Diego to see if this had all been a ploy to get rid of her? And then what steps would she take when I wasn't there? When I wasn't anywhere? I just couldn't picture very clearly whereI would be at that pointIt's wide enough for the car?let's follow it,Melanie insisted I'm not sure we're supposed to go that way yet It will be dark soon and we'll have to stopYou're wasting time!She was silently shouting in her frustration Or saving time, if I'm rightBesides, it'smytime, isn't it? She didn't answer in wordsShe seemed to stretch inside my mind, reaching back toward the convenient wash I'm the one doing this, so I'm doing it my way Melanie fumed wordlessly in response Why don't you show me the rest of the lines?I suggestede could see if anything is visible before night falls'll do that part myway You're being childish Again she refused to answerI continued toward the four sharp peaks, and she sulked When the sun disappeared behind the hills, night washed across the landscape abruptly; one minute the desert was sunset orange, and then it was blackI slowed, my hand fumbling around the dashboard, searching for the switch for the headlights Have you lost your mind?Melanie hissedo you have any idea how visible headlights would be out here? Someone is sure to see us So what do we do now? Hope the seat reclines I let the engine idle as I tried to think of options besides sleeping in the car, surrounded by the black emptiness of the desert nightMelanie waited patiently, knowing I would find none This is crazy, you know,I told her, throwing the car into park and twisting the keys out of the ignitionThere can't really be anyone out her
