:)

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) Loneliness.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that comparing two bodies to two stones (make sure that you correct the spelling) suggests loneliness and indifference, since stones are cold, hard, and hermetic—you may think of the expression "as cold as stone." In addition, describing the night as a desert also suggests loneliness, since deserts are far from being populated and they tend to be desolate and solitary.
