"Oh look!" He exclaimed. "What a great sunrise!"

"hmmmmm" I replied faintly.

I listened to the rush of the car's wheels on the pavement. I felt the door latch quivering beneath my fingers. I laid my head on the glass and closed my eyes. The wheels rushed on and on, unrelenting.

"Yeah. It's nice." I sighed, and carefully slid my hand into my pocket.

"You're tired?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm tired." I replied.
