I never really thought I'd live anywhere but Texas. Now, I was
...here...on a subway train without any real understanding of how or why.
Though, in all honesty I knew why.
A glance across the train would reveal the 'why.' Elizabeth Mulray, the
only friend I'd ever known, needed to come here. Needed to leave a
perfectly lucrative automotive operation in Dallas for a whim. Now as to
her 'whys'- they were more of a mystery. But she hadn't told me, and I
wouldn't look for the answer. As I'd learned long before at the orphanage
we'd grown up in, some secrets were just meant to be kept.
So I was simply here, leaning against the metal bar, trying to avoid the other passengers' swaying and shoving. Oh to be those passengers. To never have seen the things I'd seen... never know the things I knew. To be content to wear my little business suit and scurry off to work each day. But I wasn't, and I had to catch the rare moments of peace in my life where they came. And, as far as I knew, this dull ride on a crowded subway train, would be one of them.
