Jenna was mesmerised by the passing scenery. The land was certainly dry out here but there was a rugged beauty to the landscape that she hadn’t noticed on the drive in with Brooke. Coming to Barlow she had been filled with negativity, her eyes only noticing what she didn’t like. Now, two days later, she was amazed at how spectacular the landscape actually was. She was grateful for the distraction, because conversation with Luke had been non-existent for the past 20 kilometres. She glanced in his direction, but his eyes were fixed firmly on the road.

‘Is it much further?’ she asked.

‘About another 40 kilometres. Do you want to listen to some music?’

Jenna paused for a second before answering. If she had to spend the rest of the journey listening to the likes of Keith Urban the drive would be unbearable. ‘Umm…’

Luke laughed. ‘Your choice,’ he said. ‘The CDs are in the glove box.’

Jenna smiled and opened up the glove box. She was pleasantly surprised to find a wide selection to choose from. Luke’s taste was quite eclectic. She flipped through half a dozen then held up a Michael Bublé CD. ‘Wouldn’t have picked you for a fan.’

Luke grinned. ‘That’s Maggie’s.’

She pulled out a Powderfinger album instead. ‘I love Powderfinger,’ she said.

‘There you go. That’s something we have in common.’

Jenna smiled and slid the disc into the CD player.

The music helped Jenna relax and after a while Luke seemed to unwind as well. He started to sing along with the music, his rich voice melding with the sound of the band.

‘You’ve got a great voice,’ she said.

He grinned. ‘You didn’t seem to think so last night.’

‘I didn’t mean to offend you,’ she said, her cheeks burning at the memory of her behaviour.

‘Forget about it,’ he said. ‘Are you going to sing with me?’

Jenna laughed. ‘God no. I have a shocking voice.’

‘Come on. It can’t be that bad. I won’t laugh, I promise.’ He turned the volume up and began to sing loudly.

Luke’s enthusiasm was infectious and after a while Jenna couldn’t help but join in. She waited for him to laugh, or at the very least smirk, at her off key singing, but he didn’t appear to notice.
