City Lights

Flitted images of city lights flash by. The dull night is warm with the last remaining rays of sunshine. She coughs because it's something to do and twists around the look at the driver. He's looking at her in the rearview mirror. She smiles and he returns his attention to the road.
The bed of the truck is cool under her bare legs. Her hair is being blown into her face as they speed along the back roads running parallel to the city. Just across the river she can see it, glittering like millions of gems. It calls for her to visit but she doesn't move.
