She unrolls all of the windows and I can hear the water rushing. The river is shallow, alternative now, clear alternative and sparkling.

"Did you see the llanite along the highway cut on Texas 16? I drove us through there." "I wasn't paying attention. But I remember it," I tell her. Llanite is a rare type of brown granite with sky blue crystals and rusty pink feldspar. It is found nowhere else in the world but Llano County. When I was a child, I kept a gem collection in a shadow box above my dresser.
