There'd been little to do but sit around or wander, and he thinks he'd gotten a good sense for the place then. Either he or someone else would have found it.

And she's close, but not close enough, his fingers intertwining with hers when she takes his hand. "Me, too," he says, his voice softening a little. "On both counts." He doesn't know what he would have done if he'd woken up and not been able to see her. He would rather be holding her, but it could be worse. "I don't know what the fuck this is about."
