[Nature's true beauty resided within its capacity to be an unpredictable and unrelenting force, Kit knew that too well. Nothing lived forever, everything returning one day to the earth from which it had sprung. Not even the tallest trees were an exception to that rule. But it wasn't mortality that Kit wished to outrun.

Everything was as quiet as it had been earlier with not a soul in this area seeming to be out of bed besides them. In order to keep that at bay, he told himself it meant nothing. Even if he didn't believe it.]
