The screech of a hawk drew her eye up.
There had been a bird hovering over the valley for a time. When it departed so did Sanja, following eagerly at first, until she lost sight of it along the edge of the bypass. The mountains here were steep and distant, and she was not sure about climbing them. Her belly was swollen; something was wrong with her, but Sanja did not know what.
The bird's wings flashed copper in the sun, catching her eye. As it wheeled deeper within the valley Sanja followed until, again, she could not. She came upon a lake's edge. The surface was still except where fish broke the surface, hunting in their own way for bugs. The air was thick with summer heat.
