Chapter 13
MAGGIE
I thought Las Vegas was one of the ugliest places I’d ever seen. Then I found Sunset Park. It had green grass and trees and even a lake with ducks. The colors were bright, popping out of the brown and gray like a rainbow. It reminded me of home and I was drawn to it like an artist to a beautiful painting, wanting and needing to suck the color from the scene into me.
Bronwyn didn’t get how I could sit in Sunset Park for longer than five minutes. She was always moving, always biking, always going somewhere. She’d left Hillstone behind long ago. I hadn’t quite managed yet.
“I’ve gotta get this package over to the medical district,” Bronwyn said, getting up from the bench and tossing her coffee cup in the trash. She gave Nico a quick peck. “See you later, babe.”
As Bronw
