She leans out the window into the cool air, desert sun just rising on the usual horizon. Hugs herself like waking in his arms. So familiar, secure. My life—who, me?

Favorite time. Before the family starts stirring, moving about. Be earlier today than normal. Best guess, this day'll end good as it started. Like the last, and the next. She'd do anything for that.

Eyes change, get steely. Reaches down for the rifle, loud CRACK as she cocks it, aims out the window. Ready.

They say home is where the heart is? For her, it's a Heart of Gold.

Very nice. It's nice to hear a new perspective (I'm making the assumption that this is Nandi and not another of the girls) and knowing what is to come makes this a bit sad as well.

I was trying to think of something different for "home" so Nandi came to mind. Thanks.
