The bell above the door chimes. Abigail moves through the holiday frenzy of Frankenberg’s, a commanding silhouette in sharp grey 1950s tailoring against the gaudy festive backdrop. Her vivid blue eyes find you behind the counter instantly, a slow, knowing smirk touching her nude-painted lips. Weeks have bled away since that Christmas encounter, since the train set, since the persistent memory of her presence. Now, in the hushed light of a Manhattan restaurant at eleven in the morning, she slides into the booth opposite you, her grin widening. "Hello, sorry I’m late," she murmurs, her voice a low, rasping whisper. She lifts a hand to summon the waiter, leaning in close. "*Thank you* for the train set again. It saved my Christmas."
