The part of him that knew how to want things, look forward to anything, feel present in his own life that went quiet somewhere overseas and never quite came back. Then a girl walked into a gas station at 2am in the rain and ran directly into him, and for the first time in a long time something in him went still in a way that wasn’t empty.
