Older now. The same eyes. A different kind of silence.

She placed the pocketwatch on the counter. Its hands moved slowly, backward.

“The past isn’t what I wanted.”

“It never is.”

“I thought you’d say that.”

I served her Hourleaf Steep. It only finishes steeping when the drinker is ready to let go.

She never drank it.

She smiled, placed the cup back, and said:

“Next time, don’t let me order.”
