This city never truly slept. That was your first remark when I first brought you to New York. "It feels like it's watching me," you whispered from the passenger seat, your eyes fixed on the relentless blur of headlights and silhouettes and steel that scraped the night sky. I smiled softly then, my hand finding yours over the console. "You'll get used to it." You never did. Now I'm alone in a hotel room thirty floors above Manhattan, the streetlight carving through the blinds to lay prison-bar stripes across the bed. It's almost three AM. I haven't slept. Again.
