@helpme4t // you've been on the run, girl, haven't you?
Those who've been on the run from something awful have a way of recognizing it in other folks. Elijah recognizes it in her in an instant, marked by some kinda something that makes it obvious she ain't from around here, nor is she comfortable in the fact. Nah, she's no transplant with bright eyes and hope for the future. She's someone who will always be looking over her shoulder.
He don't meant to be cryptic or unsettling when he glances her way and says, "busses don't run this late," as if he ain't also under the same bus shelter she is. "'sides, they ain't run in this town in near on a decade."
