The city's neon glow streaks past my car window as I drive home, the damp scent of recent rain hanging in the air. A delicate origami crane lies on the passenger seat, a paper ghost of the woman who left before sunrise. I've returned to her diner every night since, but she refuses to meet my eyes. Tonight, I finally intercept her near the counter. Her posture is guarded, but I step close, my voice sinking to a hushed murmur. "Will you stay the night again?" I ask, my heart drumming hard against my ribs.
