His thoughts veered again to his young wife.

Her thoughts veered back and settled once again on Rudy.

Then his thoughts veered back and wiped the smile away.

Helped by the drink, his thoughts were veering.

His thoughts veered again: he had a sharp little stab of fear, and all else vanished from his mind.

And then her thoughts veer, taking her to a place she doesn't want to go.
