One moment there, another gone. Her face in the glass. Disappearing in the light of oncoming headlights, reappearing in the dark of outside. Gone again. The window kept her face for its own. Good, it could keep it. Back, the window didn't want it either. Red's reflection stared through her, but the glass and the darkness didn't get her quite right, blurring the details. The main features were there: the too-­pale glow of her skin and the wide-­set dark blue eyes that weren't hers alone. You look so much alike, she used to hear, more than she cared to. Now she didn't care to hear it at all, even think it. So, she looked away from her face, their face, ignoring them both. But it was harder to ignore something when you were trying. Red shifted her gaze, looking instead at the cars in the lane beside and below. Something wasn't right; the cars seemed too small from up here at her window, but Red didn't feel any bigger. She watched a blue sedan edging forward to pass, and she helped it along with her eyes, pushing them ahead. There you go, bud. Ahead of this thirty-­one-­foot-­long metal can, speeding down the highway. Which was strange when you thought about it; that you traveled down a highway when high was right there in the name. Red? The voice opposite interrupted her thoughts of lowways and highways. Maddy was looking at her through the dimmed inside lights, skin screwed up around her sandy-­brown eyes. She gave a small kick under the table, jabbing Red in the shin. Did you just forget we were in the middle of playing a game? No, Red said, but yes, yes she had. What had they been playing again? Twenty Questions, Maddy said, reading Red's mind. Well, they had known each other all their lives; Red had only gotten a seven-­month head start and she hadn't done a lot with it. Maybe Maddy had learned to read her mind in all that time, more than seventeen years. Red really hoped not. There were things in there no one else could ever see. No one. Not even Maddy. Especially not Maddy. Yeah, I know, Red said, her eyes wandering to the other side of the RV, to the outside door and the sofa bed­currently sofa­where she and Maddy would sleep tonight. Red couldn't remember; which side of the bed did Maddy like again? Because she couldn't sleep if she wasn't on the left side, and just as she was trying to read Maddy's mind back about that, her eyes caught on a green sign outside in the night, flying over the windshield. That sign says Rockingham, aren't we getting off this road soon? Red said, not loud enough for anyone at the very front...
