"Dear, dearest Bill," the letter began.
"I've arrived safe and sound. See? Your future wife can take care of herself. I'm excited and tired and dirty and excited
She signed her name, Beth, with love and kisses, folded the letter neatly, put it in an envelope, sealed it, wrote out Bill's address back east --- New York City, to be exact--- licked a stamp, thumped it with her fist and sat back in her chair with a yawn so deep it curled her toes and stretched her arms. She looked at the clock and yawned again. It was only eight thirty but she felt like it was 2AM.
She had been driving all day over the flat tabletop land of Arizona . . .
