Ella apoyó la cabeza en su pecho y se quedó mirando el matorral de bayas.
—In the dark —explicó, armándose de valor—. ¿No deberíamos hacer planes, ya sabes, para el futuro?
este "In the dark", por contexto, podria ser algo como "estamos o vamos a ciegas"...no se, me da esa impresión pero no sé si es acertada

Estamos a la deriva - dijo....-. ¿No deberíamos....
In The Dark ( you did not know about it ... )

"in the dark"
When you do not know something, you are "in the dark". Example: " Did you understand question number three?" Answer: "Not at all, I was totally in the dark." To be in the dark about something is to not know it nor understand it. Example: "Did you know that today was her birthday?" Answer: "No, I was in the dark." When you are in the dark, it is as if the lights were off and you could not see. Example: "Why didn't you tell me they were having a party?" Answer: "I was in the dark about it, just like you."

in the dark
1. In secret: high-level decisions made in the dark.

Discussion
"Lost?" He brushed the back of his hand over her cheek. "Tell me about it, sweet?"
She laid her head on his chest and stared into the berry thicket. "In the dark," she clarified, steeling her nerve. "Shouldn't we be making plans? You know-for the future?"
