“No? Why not?”
“They’re just miners,” I said. “No big deal.”
“I wonder what they’re mining.”
“Rare Earth minerals.”
“What are those?”
“The shit they use to make cell phones and electronics.”
“Oh, like platinum and whatnot.”
“Yeah, something like that.”
We both stared out at the majestic landscape.
“It’s so beautiful. I’m at a loss for words.”
“That’s something for you,” I teased.
“Hey.”
She leaned over and lightly punched me on the arm.
I took another drink, wishing we had more wine.
“Refill?” I asked, picking up the bottle.
“I shouldn’t.”
“Come on. One more glass won’t hurt.”
“I’m not a big drinker. This one already has me a bit dizzy.”
“More for me,” I said, shrugging.
“Okay,” she relented, holding out her half-empty glass. “One more. A small one.”

“So, how is this for romantic?” I asked.
She stared straight ahead, nodding ever so slightly.
“Yeah…It’s nice.”
I smiled, putting my hand on her back and rubbed.
