Chapter 9

While Travis slept that night, Kali arose and spent several hours in the living room thinking over a few of the things Travis had said. Perhaps he was right; perhaps it was time to leave the safety of the cabin and venture out in the real world again. She was certainly a great deal stronger emotionally now. The trouble was, he just didn't realize how difficult returning to L.A. would be for her. She curled up on the couch with a quilt wrapped around her and a glass of brandy in her hand, but no ready answers came to mind. She decided she would just have to remain tough and make the changes in her life in her own time. If Travis just wasn't so damn sexy, she might have a better chance of standing her ground!

Finally, feeling woozy and sleepy from the brandy she had drunk, she headed back to bed. She slipped under the covers and curled up next to Travis, unaware that he had awakened when she had first slipped out of bed, and he knew exactly how long she had been gone and even had a pretty good idea what she had been doing. He pretended to be asleep and merely shifted his warm body closer to her, and she snuggled against him.

When they had gotten up, Travis didn't mention his knowledge of Kali's nocturnal flight and couldn't help but notice she didn't say anything, either. She acted more lighthearted than usual, fixing waffles and bacon for breakfast, then suggesting they just leave the dishes to soak while they were gone.

"As long as we can stop in town so I can make out my will and notify my next of kin," Travis muttered, earning a glare from Kali.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure Jenny gets your James Dean poster collection," she assured him in a sweet coo as she switched on the ignition and put the jeep in gear.

Travis was about to add another remark when Kali took off down the hill like a bat out of hell. He would have prayed if he had enough breath to do so.

"How far are we going?" he shouted into her ear.

Kali smiled. "You'll see."

Ten minutes later Kali turned off the main road onto a very rocky dirt road that had more curves than the letter S, and steadily climbed upward into the mountains.

"What happens if a car comes from the opposite direction?" Travis asked her.

"We either hug one edge or the other," was her breezy reply.

Travis looked down the side of the mountain, then over to the mountain hugging the other side of the road. Neither looked very safe. He
