The Red Pearl
“The sandy range extended for miles, through which they drove at full speed, until Robin had to refuel the vehicle with one of the many canisters of oil his father had provided them.
They laughed and shared tales over the engine’s rumbling, and Antonia felt particularly lighthearted by the time they decided to park for a late lunch. Robin and Maverick set off down the hill to stretch and relieve themselves, while she stayed behind to gather a picnic.
Antonia sorted through the backseat’s... contents and found a quaint straw basket and wide blanket. Poring through their food rations, she added to the basket two pears, more bread, a wedge of cheese, and a glass bottle of water to share.
The motor still ran, and the young woman came over to the driver’s seat and turned the key, shutting off the engine. Promptly, she plucked the key from the ignition and tucked it safely into the straw basket with the food.
Presently, she heard Robin’s voice calling out to his dog over the arid breeze.MoreLess
