all day, lex’s hands had been shaking --- she had never thought that she would miss going to work, but at least there she could get away with sneaking off for a smoke. a few days off quickly turned into hell, until she decided to just lie and say that she wanted to go out for a quick walk when she knew that her family was too busy to hover over her outside of the house. thank god, she thought, struggling to get the cartridge open and not paying attention to where she was going.
and boom, she ran directly into someone! the lighter went flying and managed to slot into the storm drain and was gone forever. “i am so sorry, i should have been paying attention. you alright?” glancing back at the storm drain, she looked back at the other and asked, “you don’t happen to have a lighter, do you?”
