Lucky had been looking for an escape. He loved his job and Boston and his mother, but he resented the fact that she underestimated him so much. He could see in her eyes that she didn't expect him to succeed in life, and he could see that she wanted to keep him under her wing forever. Well, he needed to take a stand.
So, as soon as Gus's post went up, he knew what he could do and how and when. New York was one of those places that he'd always dreamed of living in. Not so much because of the theatres or the stores, but because it offered him a clean slate. Opportunities abounded there. No one would treat him like she did. No one would limit his options. No one would even have to know that he was... different.
Collecting one big duffel bag of everything he couldn't live without, he left Boston early Sunday morning. If all went according to his plans, he'd be with Gus in time for lunch. He looked obsessively at his watch the entire train ride. Okay, late lunch... Okay, early dinner. His train pulled into Grand Central at about three-thirty. Not too shabby.
He had scrawled Gus's address onto a little piece of scratch paper. Using this, he managed to flag down a cab driver and find the place. He bounded excitedly up the stairs and knocked on the appropriate door. By this point, he couldn't stop beaming. He looked like some sort of goth teddy bear.
