They left Pompeii and drove up the winding roads toward Fiscino. Occasionally James found himself glancing up at the summit of the volcano. The plume of smoke was leaning out to sea today, like a quill propped in an enormous ink pot. It would have looked much the same in the days before it destroyed Pompeii, he thought: There couldn’t have been much in the way of warning, or the inhabitants wouldn’t have stayed.

“Don’t you ever think about it going up again?” he said.

“Of course.”

“Doesn’t that make you want to leave?”

“No,” she said seriously. “It makes me live each day as if it were another life. Because one life lived here is worth ten lived anywhere else.” She tightened her arms around him, and for an instant he felt it too: a sense that they, and the mountain, and even this war, were all just part of some bigger pattern, some mysterious power that had somehow brought them both to this moment.
