Chapter 16

• It didn't take long before Harvey's car came to a stop in front of the tall fenced house. This was the second time he had dropped Poppy off here. Harvey watched as Poppy unbuckled her seatbelt. He opened the door handle, and the dashboard lights automatically came on.
• "Be careful on the road," Harvey said.
• For some reason, Harvey quickly grabbed Poppy's wrist. Poppy instinctively turned to look at him. They stared at each other, and behind their warm eyes, there was an embrace and an underlying sense of longing between two people who often met. There was a hidden discomfort and restlessness, but they both desired a calm and undramatic love.
