Chapter 35 Had His Fun

• After Nadia left Doctor Samantha's office, she walked the city streets for a while. It was cold, October day, with grey skies and the promise of rain, which caused a frenzy all around her. People rushed to and fro, hoping to reach their destinations before the first drop fell.
• A man argued with another over a cab, idling at the curb. A small gathering of people crushed one another in an attempt to board the bus first.
• The first drops fell, and Nadia stood there, watching it all, ignoring her vibrating phone. Then, she descended into the subway station. Seated on the crowded bus, she pulled out her phone and pretended that she didn't see his name as she replied to another text.
