Fugue # 40


Ana on the subway, wearing her badass commute face. Stay away, I’m tired, it’s too early, I don’t know you, don’t talk to me, not even good morning because then I’ll have to reciprocate and I’m just not there yet.

She looks at her phone: missed call. Enbal.

- Hello?
- Hey, did you call me?
- Yeah. He called here. You got it.

(pause)

- Really?
- That’s what he said...
- Holy shit. Really.

Her brow relaxes, her eyes soften.

- You there?
- Yeah, it’s just...I can’t believe it.
- Ha, I told you.
- I know you did. And now...
- Now what? You did it. We can talk later. Have a good day.
- Thanks.

Ana closes her phone and looks out the window at the tops of trees.
