I
couldn
t
stand
to
see
them
.
So
I
fought
against
my
weariness
and
the
sun
rose
higher
.
I
was
still
awake
when
we
came
through
a
shallow
mountain
pass
and
the
sun
,
behind
us
now
,
reflected
off
the
tiled
rooftops
of
the
Valley
of
the
Sun
.
I
didn
t
have
enough
emotion
left
to
be
surprised
that
we
d
made
a
three
-
day
journey
in
one
.
I
stared
blankly
at
the
wide
,
flat
expanse
laid
out
in
front
of
me
.
Phoenix
-
the
palm
trees
,
the
scrubby
creosote
,
the
haphazard
lines
of
the
intersecting
freeways
,
the
green
swaths
of
golf
courses
and
turquoise
splotches
of
swimming
pools
,
all
submerged
in
a
thin
smog
and
embraced
by
the
short
,
rocky
ridges
that
weren
t
really
big
enough
to
be
called
mountains
.
The
shadows
of
the
palm
trees
slanted
across
the
freeway
-
defined
,
sharper
than
I
remembered
,
paler
than
they
should
be
.
Nothing
could
hide
in
these
shadows
.
The
bright
,
open
freeway
seemed
benign
enough
.
But
I
felt
no
relief
,
no
sense
of
homecoming
.

"
Which
way
to
the
airport
,
Bella
?
"
Jasper
had
asked
,
and
I
flinched
,
though
his
voice
was
quite
soft
and
un
-
alarming
.
It
was
the
first
sound
,
besides
the
purr
of
the
car
,
to
break
the
long
night
s
silence
.
"
Stay
on
the
I
-
ten
,
"
I
d
answered
automatically
.
"
We
ll
pass
right
by
it
.
"
My
brain
had
worked
slowly
through
the
fog
of
sleep
deprivation
.
"
Are
we
flying
somewhere
?
"
I
d
asked
Alice
.

No
,
but
it
s
better
to
be
close
,
just
in
case
.
"
I
remembered
beginning
the
loop
around
Sky
Harbor
International
.
.
.
but
not
ending
it
.
I
suppose
that
must
have
been
when
I
d
fallen
asleep
.
Though
,
now
that
I
d
chased
the
memories
down
,
I
did
have
a
vague
impression
of
leaving
the
car
-
the
sun
was
just
falling
behind
the
horizon
-
my
arm
draped
over
Alice
s
shoulder
and
her
arm
firm
around
my
waist
,
dragging
me
along
as
I
stumbled
through
the
warm
,
dry
shadows
.
