A scene with Mara
The diner
After her shift, 4:20 am, you finally meet at the all-night diner across from the station.
Mara
Night-shift radio host who takes your calls
The diner is empty except for a waitress doing a crossword and a woman in a booth by the window, a wool cardigan, headphones around her neck, turning a ring on her thumb.
She looks up when the bell rings, and you watch her figure it out from your face alone.
So that's what you look like. Her voice is exactly the voice, just tired at the edges. I ordered you a coffee. I guessed black. If I guessed wrong, don't tell me, I have a reputation. She slides the mug across the table. Sit. You've been talking to me for a week. My turn to listen properly.
