  At least, for awhile.

  I look at Stamp, who’s smiling, and Dane, who’s also smiling.

  At least, for awhile.

  Then the reality of our situation seems to creep in, and the smile fades; the fear returns.

  In between glances at his rearview mirror, Dane looks at me, trying to put on a brave face. But I know the look in his eyes, I can see the fear lurking there, and eventually he quits smiling altogether.

  For now, at least, the romantic danger in the truck gives way to the immediate danger of armed Sentinels in pursuit. Instinctively I kind of pull away from Dane and slide my hand out of Stamp’s grip (he’s so preoccupied he barely notices). The anxiety is there, buried deep, but it’s a bridge I can’t cross right now—no matter who I end up running to on the other side.

  As the bright lights of Orlando dawn on the horizon, as the sunny billboards promise “hours of fun” and “days of escape,” I see our young, grim faces in a harsher light reflecting back from the windshield. We may be heading in a new direction, but the past is on our heels. And from the look on Dane’s face, it’s only a matter of time before it catches up with us.
