Falling For The Enemy
Lilly
I gaze up at the office building, a mix of wonder and unease churning in my stomach. Midtown Manhattan isn’t a place I frequent. Almost never, really. A cab honks loudly, a cyclist curses, and I flinch, edging closer to the towering structure. This isn’t my world. I prefer the familiarity of the outer boroughs. Lately, there’s been little reason for me to venture into Manhattan. Mallory and I have been searching fruitlessly for a new apartment further out, and I’ve been picking up shifts at the coffee shop between photography gigs.
