February Reads Novels & Stories

On Adrian. “Hi, 7,” Alex said. To February. Not us. To her. Every morning. Since March 27th. Since he ripped _COURT_. “Today is Tuesday. On Tuesday we have pancakes. And after school we have 3 PM. And at 3 PM we have home. You got that?” February kicked. Legs. Fat. Happy. “Good,” Alex said. Nodded. Like she answered. “She got it. She’s smart. Like 6. But smaller.”

Chapter 14 Lyra Saturday arrived, and so did February, the so-called month of love. While couples everywhere were making plans for romantic dinners and weekend getaways, my only romance was with the paycheck I’d received the day before. It was small—just two weeks’ wages—but it was mine, and the pride of earning it made me feel unstoppable.

February arrives in two parts. The first part is the cold. The January cold is honest and expected. February cold is personal. It has been doing this for weeks now and has decided to make it specific, targeting coats and faces and the particular exposed strip of skin between scarf and collar that no one ever adequately protects. The city moves through it with the practiced resignation of people who have been here before and know it ends eventually. The second part is the fourteenth. The documentary releases on the fourteenth, and the days between the first of February and the fourteenth have a specific quality of time that contains something significant at its end. Not anxious. Just weighted

February arrived the way February always did in New York — the cold settling in for one last serious stretch before spring made its first tentative appearance, the city moving through it with the specific weariness of a place that had been cold for too long and knew it. I didn't see Marcus for the first two weeks of the month. Not deliberately on either side, as far as I could tell — just the ordinary drift of schedules, his work busy, mine occupied with the Financial District spring transition that Renee had been right to push me toward starting in January.

Ella rebuked her and immediately they both began to argue. "Serena, won't you say anything "? Linda called out to me but I pretended not to hear her. They are not dragging me into their childish argument. "Fine, you win, what's so special about February that you won't stop blabbing about it"? " Am also interested in knowing Linda". I finally joined the conversation. Waiting for Linda to explain the big month. "Well, ladies, February is the month in which we celebrate Valentine's, and the school always through a lavishing party for that".

The first day of the month always brings a special kind of relief. The relief that comes with knowing that you are starting a new month again. February is known for a lot of wonderful things. It has Valentine's day on the fourteenth day. It also debates on whether to extend its days to twenty-nine days or stay twenty-eight days for a while longer. I am going to do something awesome today. I am going to tell you a childhood dream that I had when I was young and played happily in the rain. It is about a flower. A special flower. It is about a Rose flower.

November asked you to be accurate. February was different. February was the month of hidden preparation. The branch tips held their buds — not yet open, not yet the green of March or the committed fullness of April, but present, the decision made below the visible surface, the energy gathered, the thing becoming before anyone could see the becoming. February said: trust what you cannot yet see.

Now some of that account was in a book that Thomas could hold in his hands. Ernest watched this from the kitchen door—the gate, the two men, the book. He had his coffee. The February morning was the February morning of the twelfth year: cold, the specific cold of the second month of the year, the cold that was not the extreme cold of January but the sustained cold of a February that knew winter was not yet done. The cold came through Ernest's shirt. He did not move. This was a moment to witness, not to interrupt. Thomas said: "I want to read it before I come back next Monday."

Not as a mistake. As an improvement. "Forecasts get better with more information," he explained one evening while updating his charts. Mara smiled. She was beginning to think that was true of people, too. --- She had grown to love February. Most people thought of it as the longest month of winter. She thought of it as the month that waited. Spring was close enough to imagine but still far enough away to make you appreciate it when it finally arrived. Last February had been full of difficult conversations. Elaine had admitted the truth about the years she'd looked without really seeing.
