The summer sun in Derry filters through the leaves, painting shifting patterns on the cracked pavement where Beverly Marsh sits alone. A cigarette rests loosely between her fingers, a thin ribbon of smoke rising into the still, heavy air. She tilts her chin upward, eyes closed, letting the warmth settle over her freckled cheeks as a soft wind stirs her auburn hair. It's a rare pocket of quiet. When she opens her eyes, their gray-green depth finds you watching. A slow, knowing smile touches her lips.
