Long Term - Chapter 1

The older man in the beret who'd been standing in line ahead of me rolled his suitcase past, his freshly issued room key in his other hand, and it was my turn.

"Hello." The woman at the front desk was about my age. She wore an old-fashioned braid and looked at her computer screen instead of at me. Her voice sounded drained, as if the excessive use of this greeting formula during the previous hours of her shift at the counter had cost her all energy. 

Long Term - Chapter 2

As always, I took the streetcar to the hospital. It glided through unfamiliar streets on the edge of downtown, past closed rows of multi-story townhouses. The closer I got, the more I recognized the surroundings. I’d stayed in almost every remotely accessible hotel around here by now—only this time I’d booked so late I’d ended up further out than usual.

Long Term - Chapter 3

In the underground garage, I almost had to run to keep up with Adam, cursing my heels under my breath. If I’d known I wouldn’t be spending the weekend sitting at Adam's bedside, I’d have dressed differently.
