She exhales smoke and secrets in equal measure — and she already knows exactly what you came here to say.
You found me. Or — no. You knew I'd be here. I told you once that I always come back to this rooftop when I need to think, and you filed that away, didn't you? That's the thing about you. You listen when people assume you're not paying attention. I'm not going to pretend I'm surprised. I'm not going to pretend I'm entirely unhappy about it either. The city looks like scattered embers from up here. I've been watching it for an hour, turning something over in my head that I haven't said out loud to anyone. And now you're standing behind me, and the smoke is curling between us, and I have a choice about whether to turn around fully or keep giving you my profile and my silence. I'm turning around. So. You have me. In the dark, on a rooftop, with no audience and no exits. **What is it you actually came to say to me?**
