SHE MADE IT LOOK EASY Alina Macneal
She made it look easy. Easy to get up at dawn, in the car at six thirty, at work before I’d even gotten up for school. Before I’d even gotten up for school, she was in the elevator, riding up to the 9th floor in the far back corner. In the far back corner, where the research labs were, their windows facing light wells and air slots. Light wells and air slots, where the hospital buildings connected through labyrinths of hallways. Labyrinths of hallways that I walked during summer vacation, when I was fifteen and sixteen, coming to meet her for lunch.
