They chose the morning.Not because it was symbolic, but because it was quiet in a way evenings no longer were. The city had not yet fully decided what it wanted from the day. Light moved slowly across the room, unambitious and forgiving.Lillian woke first.She did not lie still out of habit. She lay still because there was nothing she needed to prepare for.
