The desert we stop to set up camp isn't ideal but everyone is too tired to complain, myself included.
I see the disappointment in Bobby's eyes.
Leaving Frank and his daughter in the middle of the road was the right call.
I just need to get her to understand that.
We start a fire, and I see my opportunity to get her alone to talk.
She is standing off to the side a few feet away watching the fire burn and crackle.
As I walk up to her Bobby whips around and says angry "I still can't believe you did what you did today, Bri."
I hang my head a little and reply "I know, but it had to be done, it was too much of a risk."
She turns back around and folds her arms over her chest.
I sigh again and say softly "Come on I love you, and you know I can be a dipshit sometimes, that decision was the right one and you know it."
I pull on her hair playfully it is tied up in a messy bun.
Bobby jerks away from me, still upset but I can tell that she's begun to crack.
She turns around fully unfolds her arms and says quasi-serious "I think we should see other people."
I smile slightly and reply playing along " Okay if that's the way you feel."
Bobby replies joking "That's the way I feel."
We both burst out laughing, I wrap my arms around her waist and lift her up off of the ground.
She turns around in my grip and slides out.
Bobby hits me mockingly once she is free of my grasp and says " God Brian, you really can be such a dipshit sometimes!"
I laugh and reply giddy "I know, and I'm the only one left in the world for you!"
She smiles and kisses me.
I kiss her back, and lift her she wraps her legs around my thighs and her arms around my neck.
I set her down, and we start to peel each other's clothes off and continue to kiss.
I lie back on the desert floor.
I enter her and say softly "I'm sorry again and, I love, you."
She grins and replies "I forgive you and I love, you too."
