Stolen Sections 41-45 Summary

Section Break 41

  • Ty and Gemma stop the car in an oasis of green vegetation in the middle of the desert that she almost finds attractive to look at.
  • They make a picnic there, and Ty gets out some sparkling wine to continue the celebration of her 21st day. Gemma begins to wonder if it's drugged and refuses to drink it.
  • In the distance, the camels begin to arrive. Gemma makes an awkward comment about Ty being attractive like Superman.
  • Changing the subject, she asks if he'll ever give her the car keys. Ty replies that she would get lost and die if he did.

Section Break 42

  • Ty and Gemma continue their camel chase. Literally. Ty is literally chasing the camels with the car. This is either brilliant or really stupid—and we're about to find out which.
  • Ty uses a pole with a noose on it to catch the camel around its neck. But, he makes Gemma drive, and she loses control of the car and it spins out.

Section Break 43

  • Outside of the car, the camel is basically freaking out; she's kicking everything in sight. Ty sits on her to try to get her to calm down, but the poor camel keeps looking up ahead at her herd moving away from her.
  • Ty ties up the camel and tries to put something around her neck. Then, she pukes on his head. Nice.

Section Break 44

  • In case you were wondering, camel puke really stinks. Gemma spends a fair amount of the first paragraph telling us about all the horrible smells that combine to form the stench of camel puke. Then, the smell hits Gemma and she pukes. So basically, now the camel hunt has become a barf-o-rama.
  • But, it's still not over yet. Gemma still has to ride back to the house in the heat with the puke stench and the camel tied to the back of the car.

Section Break 45

  • Back at the ranch, Ty immediately starts trying to train the camel. It's not going well, though, and she's pretty stubborn and won't even respond when Gemma tries to lead her.
  • Ty says that once she understands what they want her to do, she'll do it. Gemma wonders if that's how he sees her.
