Other Resort Cities
“It’s ten in the morning and they’re walking through the new New York, New York Casino, Tania pointing out how the faux Statue of Liberty out front is actually half the scale of the real statue, how when Tania’s ancestral family first came to America, they actually came right past the Statue of Liberty, too. How the casino floor is actually a replica of Central Park, right down to the trees and the piped-in bird noises.
Seventy-two hours into their new life together and Tania has already run out... of conversation topics, is now making things up as she goes along, this word “actually” creeping back into her vocabulary for the first time since the year she spent lying to everyone.
