Question
I could see steep, treacherous mountains through my side of the window and a gap between this mountain and another through my brother’s side of the window. Ahead, the periwinkle sky spread like a blanket. As my neck and back moved despite my will to stay firm on the seat, I held on tightly to my mother, who was now between my brother and me, fast asleep and in peace. I searched my father’s face for something I knew I would never have, a sense of belonging. He was resisting sleep, half-dreaming, and smiling at the majestic view. As if he could read my mind, my father turned around to meet my gaze and gave a knowing smile. We had an hour left to reach our destination before the sun would turn the mountains orange and disappear behind the mountains for the night. I kept my eyes open, hungry for the scene, lulled by the driver’s melodies.
