Theme Thursday {9}: Pathways

This meme is being hosted by Kavyen @ Reading Between Pages. Each Thursday she will be posting a new "theme" Anyone can join in; here are the rules:

• A new "theme" will be posted each Thursday
• Select a conversion/snippet/sentence from your current read
• Post your selection, but don't forget to list the title and author of the book
• This event is open for one whole week
• It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)
  
  Ex: If the theme is KISS; your sentence can have “They kissed so gently” or “Their lips touched each other” or “The smooch was so passionate”

This week's "theme" is: PATHWAYS

They'd been hiking for along this path, headed north, for four hours. He's kept the pace slow for Caitlyn's sake, but she looked exhausted. She spent the first two hours looking terrified. The first time he stopped to let a cobra slither across the path, she'd cowered behind him with her hands clenched in his shirt.
