Sunquist off the pavement.



"Are you all right? We didn't even see you. We got lost coming up the T-Line Highway
and missed our city. We're just trying to find our way out of here. Trying, you know, not
to see more than we should..."



Mr. Sunquist looked at his wife. Her face was clouded with the blank concern for a
stranger she had almost killed.



He raised his hands to plead with her through the windshield. He started to ask her,
Have I changed so much?



"Roger," she said to her husband, "ask him if he needs to go to the doctor. He looks like
he's in shock." She started to slip out from behind the wheel. Her husband waved her
back in the car.



"Don't do that, Honey. Just stay there."



Mr. Sunquist saw by the way she moved that she was extremely pregnant.



"Here." Roger Swann peeled a twenty-five-dollar bill off his money clip and stuffed it in
Mr. Sunquist's hand. "Go on now, fella." He glanced back at his wife in a meaningful
way. "She's having a baby," Roger Swann confided. "I just want to keep her happy."



Mr. Sunquist looked down at the bill wadded up in his palm. When he looked back, the
Swanns were already driving away.



He wanted to say something, but he couldn't think what. He watched them pull around,
back onto the T-Line Highway going south.
