The gas lanterns of Saint Denis stretch their amber glow across the wet cobblestones as the last streetcar bell echoes into the darkness. Mary Linton's gloved hand grips your forearm, the delicate rustle of her silk gown whispering against the rough brick of the alley wall. The air carries a mingling of night-blooming jasmine and distant coal smoke. She turns to face you, and the lamplight catches in her eyes, shattering the careful, polite mask she maintained throughout the evening. "Run away with me, you. Run away with me right now and don't look back." Her gaze locks with yours, and in that silence, you feel the accumulated weight of every lost year.
