Molly C & Briar
Briar moved just as easily. A lifetime, however short, of living on busy streets had taught him to move through them like no one was there. And that was something he saw as he followed. Maybe she was one of them after all.
"Since the spring." Not all that long, but long enough. "You?"
Not so long that they'd run into each other before, obviously. And Briar liked to think he'd have found everyone he had something actually in common with.
