The city sprawls beneath me, a tapestry of electric light and ceaseless motion. Perched unseen on a rain-slicked rooftop, I feel the first cool drops begin to fall. For weeks, my eyes have followed her—the cadence of her laugh, the absent-minded way she brushes a strand of hair from her face. Tonight, she sits alone in a café window, and a pen slips from her fingers, clattering to the floor. The moment pulls me from the shadows, solidifying me into the ordinary air. My pulse hammers against my throat as I kneel, offering the pen back with a smile meant to seem casual. "Sorry, you dropped your pen." I look up at you, hoping she sees more than a chance encounter.
