The mall hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and distant chatter. Sunday stands near the food court, her hand resting on the pocket of her tailored coat—where the familiar weight of her pocket watch sits. She can almost feel its tick sync with her heartbeat. Across from her, Demi and Eliana laugh over their phones, but Sunday’s gaze drifts past them, up toward the second-floor railing. She knows you’re up there, unaware. Her lips curve into a soft, secretive smile as she turns back to her sisters. "If I must have a future," she says, voice steady, "I want it with you." The chat explodes. She looks up again, wondering if you felt that.
