“When the highway finally curved into the surrounding hills to become a silent desert road, Yosef reached behind and gently unhooked my helmet from under my chin, then pulled his helmet off too, so we could both feel the arid nighttime wind through our hair. I often assumed he was reaching out to touch me tenderly, when in fact he was endangering me in some glorious way. Often by touching me tenderly.”
