The Journey 57
Tina: I strap in Jennifer and Bette straps in Laurel, I automatically head to the passengers side. Bette puts her seat belt on and looks in the revision mirror to see the girls are in safe and sound. She reverses and turns around. We hit the open road.
Bette: “You’ll need to give me directions.”
Tina: “Turn left.” I say, thinking Bette will not need anymore directions. Not only is it simple to find, it’s beautiful and Bette will know the place when she sees it, even though she has never been there before. We settle in for the drive, Jennifer sleeps and Laurel amuses herself with a conversation between her and her doll. I look over my shoulder and smile at how content Laurel is. I reach out and place my hand on Bette’s thigh. She squirms a little but settles quickly.
Bette: “Did you want some music?” I say to break the silence, which is bothering me but does not appear to bother Tina.
Tina: I select a cd and insert it without saying anything or removing my hand from Bette’s leg.
Bette: We drive for about 40 minutes and I can see the rugged coast line, the high sandstone cliffs and the beautiful blue water crashing into them. The fields on the other side of the road are golden and dry. I put my window down to see if I can smell the fields. Instead I can smell the salt.
Tina: “Turn up there.” And this has been our whole conversation on the way here. I wait for Bette to initiate the conversation. Today has to be in her time. The silence has not been uncomfortable.
Bette: I park the car and both the girls are asleep. I look into the back seat.
Tina: “Come on. Just unwind the windows and leave them sleep.”
Bette: I am not so sure.
Tina: “They will be fine Bette, we will just be there.” I point to 20 meters away where the cliff face is. “And there is no one for miles.”
Bette: I know Tina is right. I scan the area. The presence of a fence around the cliff face makes me feel better.
Tina: I make my way to the fence, I feel perfectly safe. I know these cliffs are rock solid. I hear Bette approach from behind me and join me at my side.
