She purses her lips, looking out over the dash to the hood of the truck, the sun dancing on the surface in the afternoon sun. 

"That sounds so lonely. I couldn't do it, even for a moment. Everyone I knew and know would be gone. " She turned her head to look out the window, reaching a hand to the brim of her hat to hide her eyes from the unforgiving rays of the sun.
