Foxfire
“It had been conceived on that strange and violent night of transition when she and Dart drove back from El Castillo to Lodestone. Conceived because both of them had felt the futility of words to break down the wall between them.
They had lain together under the stars, and for a little time had known respite from their separate clamors, united in the rapture that looks neither forward nor back but exists only for itself. But afterwards there had again been many silences between them. Neither of ...them mentioned the visit to El Castillo, they tried to treat it as though it had not happened, and picked up their joint life where it had been interrupted. Dart, especially, wiped the whole incident from his mind, disliking memory of the confused hurt and cold anger he had felt during those days of their separation. But there was a cloud on their relation, and for Amanda too, except that another factor temporarily dissipated it.
Amanda’s recognition of her pregnancy, after initial dismay—for they had certainly not meant to have children yet—had brought a flood of joy and pride.MoreLess
