Samantha had a plan when she went to bed after work the night before: get up, shower, light breakfast, map out how to get to Chinatown for dim sum. Her uncle called long before her alarm was set to go off, and she spent two hours on the phone trying to talk him down. He had been against her and Becca moving to New York, and the hate crimes only made it worse. By the time she finally got him off the phone, she was running late.
As quickly as she could, Sam showered, did her hair, and got dressed. She didn't have time to map out their route completely, but she told herself she'd be able to read a subway map and figure it out. The trains only ran in two directions, really. She collected her sister, and they made their way to the trains. Her animal instincts should have given her a better sense of direction, but once they were underground, she lost her internal north star, and the PA system was more static than words, so she couldn't tell what was being said.
It wasn't until the subway became an elevated train that she realized they were heading in the wrong direction. "I think..Shit. Becs. I think we're in Brooklyn." She looked at the map hanging on the wall of the car instead of the pocket one she'd been trying to use. "It's a little cold for the beach, but I think Coney Island is the next stop." She smiled apologetically. "Adventure?"
