Across from her, Daniel was recounting a childhood memory, using the same inflection and phrases as he had with Sarah. The woman, whose number he'd given her last week.

She couldn’t eat, couldn’t bring herself to reach for the food. The image of the two of them, the shared stories, the familiar laughter - it was all too much. She closed her eyes.

"I think I need to go," she said finally, her voice barely audible. The words felt like a confession of some sort.
