They never talk about the Calaveras or the search for Kate after they make camp, but they find other things to make conversation about. One night Derek tells Chris about the auto repair shop he and Laura both worked in while they lived in New York and discovers Chris has a love of classic cars.

"Laura, too," Derek says. "I mean, I like cars all right, I picked up some stuff from her, enough to do most of my own repairs, but she was really the car person. She had this...1960s, I don't remember what year, it was Mustang she was restoring, bit by bit. Champagne gold."

Chris lets out a low whistle. "Now that's a machine. What happened to it?"

"Told the owner she could keep it when I left town," Derek says. "It really was more Laura's thing. She was picky, wouldn't drive anything that she could outrun. That was Laura," he sighs, "drove 25 over every speed limit, smoked like a chimney, and always looking for an excuse to pick a fight. She was almost a worse alpha than I was."

"But great taste in cars," Chris says. "I used to have this black 1967 Impala* I liked to work with in my spare time. I've always wanted to restore one from scratch, but after I got married and we started moving around, it was too much trouble to lug around the extra vehicle with us. Had to take up whittling instead." He holds up his left hand, where his wedding ring still rests, glinting in the firelight. "See that little line along my pointer? Nearly lopped the thing right off when I was carving a cowboy boot.** It needed six stitches. Vicky was furious."

"You're kidding," Derek says, choking down a laugh. "I, uh, think beginners are supposed to start with an egg."

"A man doesn't sit on his porch and whittle an egg."

"I did," says Derek, "well, I sat on our roof, and I was still a kid. I got to animal statues eventually—then I helped my dad build the deck. You can't really see much of it anymore," he adds, "but right on the front of the house? We did that together one summer. The posts used to have little engravings in them."
