"Carol, you look incredible," I said after a minute.
She turned halfway around and looked at me. "Are you stiff?" she asked.
I nodded. She turned back. She lowered the sun visor and looked at herself in the small mirror. "Jack, whatever happens ..." She licked her lips and puckered them once, then turned her eyes to me in the reflection. "... don forget that you are part of this, too. Its not just me and Nick."
Before I could ask her what she meant, Nick was back at the van. He motioned for Carol to roll down the window, then leaned in.
"Switch places, you two," he said. He looked back over to the trucks.
