“Do you ever have the sense you’re living someone else’s life?”
― Cali the Destroyer
― Cali the Destroyer
“The station was filling with more movement and noise and light, as the morning sun began to bounce and rattle off the brass and glass of the building. Quincy pushed through the crowd, her eyes towards the ground, her feet guiding her out of the station. She only lifted her head when she came out onto the sidewalk. And there, before her, a familiar figure was waiting, standing with a paper in one hand, watching the flow of traffic. He saw her and waved in silence, somehow knowing it wasn’t a morning for many words.
“Did Fisher tell you to come?” Quincy said, her voice sounding so unlike itself—sounding yearning.
“No,” Arch replied. Then he shook his head as confirmation, as if it were an important truth she needed to know two ways. “But I knew this was his train.”
“You missed him.”
“I didn’t come for him. I came for you.”
