What I Tell You in the Dark
“It only comes clear to me again when I find myself back where I started, outside the newspaper offices, trying to pick out a window where I might catch a glimpse of Natalie.

Dumb instinct has led me full circle, to the only real foothold I have. There must be a way for me to persuade her. All I need is to see her, and for her to see me, a...nd hear my words in person, not dying in the vacuum of a phone conversation. Spatial proximity: a core requirement for bonding. Any chemist will tell you that.
