I only seem to be able to like this place when I’m leaving. It’s 2AM on a
chilly end-of-summer night and I’m standing in the middle of the
deserted small-town square. I have my suitcase in hand and my ticket at the
ready, my eyes sweeping over the red-brick storefronts and the
inconspicuous station building ahead of me. It’s always a relief and it’s
always exciting — to leave the all-human town and go back to the
Academy, but tonight…
There’s something in the scents of the cold ground and stone all around
me, something in the moon shining from behind the tree canopies high
above, something telling me this is something else.
I smile and I shake my head. I’m romanticizing things again.
Just as I move to keep walking for the station pub, I hear rushed footfalls
behind my back. I turn around and I spot Steve marching towards me.
It makes my eyebrows shoot up. I open my mouth to ask what he’s doing,
but he’s already shoving the screen of his phone in my face.
“‘Won’t be able to make it tonight after all. Thanks for everything,’” he
recites in an incredulous tone. “Really, Anna?”
From the way he says it, you’d think it was the love of my life I’d left
with nothing but those words. But instead of getting sucked into the drama,
I choose to make light of it. Smiling, I say playfully, “I thought I told you I
was leaving today. You know how it goes with packing.”
He takes a step back, frowning. “You could’ve at least come to say
goodbye.”
What for? So I could look into the eyes of the guy I’ve been sleeping with
for the past three months and only feel more alone? “Well, goodbye?” I say
with a smile.
“Come on, Anna,” he urges as he takes a step closer. “Don’t we have a
good thing going?”
“We did, yeah,” I reply, still smiling.
“So? Don’t you want to see where it takes us?”
I have to fight not to let out a sigh. “I think I told you exactly where it’ll
be taking us when we started it.”
He laughs. “You know, you independent women, you all say that these
days.”
I still want to part on good terms, but I press my lips tight, saying in a
colder voice, “Some of us mean it.”
He throws his arms up, letting out a pent-up breath.
Then he shakes his head and looks into my eyes. “When’s your… that
thing leaving?”
Typical Steve. Just like most people in this town, he doesn’t even want to
mention anything having to do with the Originals. “In half an hour,” I tell
him.
“I’ll wait with you,” he says with determination in his voice, already
looking around for a spot.
“No need,” I rush to say, “I’ll be having a cup of coffee on my own, it’s a
tradition of sorts.”
