". We'll look at it again tomorrow.' The thought excites me, a tangible space for my fantasy, and I relax, the park quiet, the city a heartbeat behind me.
The sun goes down, the heavens deepening, and I head home, the house empty, Emily's absence a hollow sound. I drop my bag, the boxes in anticipation, and sit at the table, the laptop warm.
I sit down with a paper, clacking out a letter to potential writers, the words raw and enticing: "Join Aurora Press, where passion and art unite." My fingers ache, but I keep going, the night ahead of me. Lily's blog pulls at me, her anonymity a provocation, and I wonder if she is out there, reading this, and never knowing she is my muse.
