Wind tugged at flyers on the chain-link.
“Think we’ll survive this?” I asked.
“This ain’t the first dictator we’ve lived under.”
“¿No hablas español?” she grinned.
“Here’s looking at you, kid. To hope, faith, and gigolos.”

“You still on antidepressants?” she asked.
“No.”
“Good. Same. I’m done dulling myself.
They said I was too sharp. Fuck it—I should get a gigolo instead of a shrink.”

PARKING LOT — AFTER
Marlboros burned between our fingers.
Sodium lights turned the asphalt honey-colored.
“I feel so powerless,” I said.
“Twenty years teaching democracy—and I can’t define it without choking on it.”

“You okay?” Hannah asked.
“Fine, can’t complain,” I said—and then I wasn’t.
Fluorescents hummed like trapped bees.
Somewhere a woman shrilled.
A door slammed; the sound folded back into silence.
“Come on,” she said. “Before the questions start breeding.”

HALLWAY — INTERMISSION
The meeting paused for questions. Questions that needed therapy.
We stood beneath a NO VAPING ON CAMPUS sign.
Lost and Found: one small sock, pink with stars.
A paper snowflake trapped behind glass.

“High THC. I had an early start. One or two?”
She held out her palm, casual as communion.
“Make it two. I’ve got a high tolerance.”
We nodded when it was appropriate to nod.
Model citizens. Pearl earrings. Low-pump heels. Nobody suspected a thing.

I gave a thumbs-up. “You’re a good woman.”
Burn, then bloom. A small, bright mercy in a fluorescent room.
“My turn,” I said. “You want something?”
“What you got?”
I showed her the tin—gummies, ruby and neat like gemstones in a science kit.

Someone’s baby wailed along the back wall.
Hannah leaned close, perfume of citrus, coffee, a little wildness.
“You thirsty?” she breathed.
“What kind of water?”
She held up her stainless bottle like contraband. “Pure vodka water.”

EVENING — MULTIPURPOSE ROOM
We slid into folding chairs late—two women with PTA smiles and battlefield eyes.
The principal’s PowerPoint clicked like a metronome: Safety Initiative. Gluten-Free Bake Sale. Parent Portal.

RUMOR FROM THE DISTRICT — 5:47 A.M.
Fog on the Potomac. Lattes vibrate like lie detectors.
“Rosé Gold’s done with Pheg.”
Chyrons bloom: WHITE HOUSE SEEKS ‘MORE HAWKISH’ WAR CHIEF.
Producers already booking retired generals.
