She’s sitting there in her booth on her last day of work, collecting train tokens “like a veal,” her expression a mixture of dejection and boredom.
Someone drops a token into the bowl and the cash register bell rings.
Someone drops a ring into the token bowl instead of a token. The music changes, an upbeat and hopeful jingle. She looks up. There he is, a mischievous grin on his...

Hey.
It’s been a while.
Haven’t had any Internet at my new apartment (UNTIL NOW)!!! Seriously, it’s like the dark ages. Who doesn’t have wifi these days? My aunt, who lives upstairs and who I am renting from for the summer, that’s who.

The smallest fear or doubt of her revolt,
For she had eyes, and chose me. (3.3.187-189)
