In her skinny jeans and fitted red t-shirt emblazoned with a close-up of a bright green Tyrannosaurus Rex in a comic-book panel, his jaws open wide in a smile that showed all his teeth.

She recognized it -- it seemed to happen all the time these days, at Pax, at work, even with Karin, all to varying degrees. That little prickling at the back of her neck, the little breath of almost-memory...
