It was sad because she was being fired from her job .It was sad because she was out of time to try to touch him or admit her feelings .It was sad because they were going to a funeral .It was sad because they were going to the dentist and she hated dentistry .
Why was it sad that their trip was almost over ?
She was now in a car with him , so close , yet so far away . She wanted to reach out and touch him , but feared rejection and instead left her twitching hands in her lap . Sad that their short time in the car was over , she stalled , making her movements slow and weighing out her words .
