Once, on an evening as soft as a blanket, there lived Tilly. When the sun went down, the Night City woke up, with a thousand windows glowing yellow like slices of lemon. Tilly wanted everything right now: dinner now, the swing now, the end of the story now. Everything felt hushed and kind, like a room where someone is sleeping.
Buses yawned along the streets, and the smell of warm pretzels drifted from a corner cart. Waiting was the hardest thing in the world for Tilly. Even waiting for toast felt like a whole year.
Just before supper, a note fluttered down onto the doorstep. In curly letters it said: "Please come to the old Clock Tower." Tilly took a slow breath, in through the nose and out like blowing on warm soup.
