she sees angels in the architecture
Tobi was absolutely working...that there are suddenly sketches of wine glasses whining, and speech bubbles with i'll never grow Bordeaux of you in them, is...well, shush. October loves being a doctor, of course. But for tonight, with a blizzard howling outside and the only company she has being a handful of kids who are sleeping off too much alcohol, it's understandable that the snippet of a different life she and Finn had talked about earlier that evening would work itself back into her thoughts.
She imagines sharing the stage with Finn, he with his guitar and she with her piano. They'd pick up certain quirks, like never sitting on the piano bench together during a show, or Tobi always needing a yellow umbrella in her drink for good luck. On one night Finn would wear mismatched socks that would show when he sat down to play, and Tobi would never let him live it down. The sounds of music and lively conversation would be enough to lullthem Finn to sleep, and Tobi would always keep the bar spotless. And everything would sound like—
thump. slide. jingle. hush.
—no, not like that. Frowning, Tobi blinks and turns toward her open office door. Head cocked to the side, she listens.
thump. slide. pause.
jingle. slide. thump.
With a frown, assuming one of the drunken teenagers were searching for something, Tobi marches into their room to find them all asleep.
thump. slide. jingle. hush.
