Inside their apartment, Lotus, the boy Wil had found earlier that evening, slept on the mattress Grey and Wil shared. She could hear him snoring from the permanently cracked window. He was the reason Wil was watching so intently for Grey. She wasn't sorry she'd brought Lotus home--but she also knew Grey would need a little...convincing.
Soon enough, she saw him walking up the sidewalk. She took a breath and climbed back through the window, pulling it down behind her. She shoved a tattered blanket back into the gap between the window and the pane, hoping to keep out the late fall chill.
She met Grey at the door when it swung open and smiled brightly. "Hi."
