‘i wish i had a river so long, i would teach my feet to fly. i wish i had a river, i could skate away on.’ the lilting tune falls from stevie and a smile fans over her lips upon the sight of her darling river. such talent and rawness to their soul which stevie veers to when choosing people to spend time with. a beer is already in her hand and she is not in the usual place behind the bar, instead lingering near the basement stairs. ‘help yourself, honey.’ she gestures to the bar area. ‘you here to see knicker bocker glory? they’re doing a sound check.’

squeezing up to river is second nature after all the years, it doesn’t seem like intimacy and comes as naturally as a handshake. jude whispers a small apology for disturbing them, but everyone is having turns in squeezing up close for reassurance and comfort. ‘fox needed to go for a walk and i just want to sleep.’ jude explains in a hushed whisper, truthfully unable to sleep with the uneasiness washing over the school ever since the gunshot was heard. ‘can you sleep?’ he asks, blinking softly to try and adjust to river’s face.
