i drop my head back to gaze at the sky . riding with fin holding her close , it was n't even nine o'clock in the morning and it was already the best day of her life . it is not nearly so lonely here while you are gone when i have someone i can talk to . he is n't looking and wo n't notice her voice now lowered slightly . he pushed , and she again shrugged . her hands were steady as she washed them in the sink . he was really looking forward to dinner with her .
