With a hearty yawn, Evelyn put her mug of tea back in the cup holder and leaned back in the driver's seat of the slight pick-up. The many ancient tree giants that reigned unchallenged over this wild, colorful land passed her window as distorted silhouettes. Everything was still damp and clammy because it had been raining all night. Music was playing on the radio - Adele with Love in the Dark.
"Please, stay where you are. Don't come any closer. Don′t try to change my mind," the light voice sang along softly, feeling a bitter sting in her chest. It still hurt, but it was getting better. It was no longer tearing her apart, and soon, she would be able to sleep through the night again. She was sure of that.

Evelyn laughed brittlely, shook her head slightly ... and then gasped in shock.
