COLE

November flows into December, each day passing quicker than the

last.

I’m already regretting winning the bid for the sculpture.

York is demanding I build it as quickly as possible, before the next round of

elections in the spring.

And just as I expected, I’m fucking hating it.

I have to command an entire crew of construction workers, none of whom

know the first fucking thing about working with these kinds of materials.

I’m out on the frigid, whistling flat top of Corona Heights Park, in the

goddamned coldest December since 1932, shouting at welders who have

already shattered a dozen of the smoked glass plates that make up the walls

of the labyrinth.

This might possibly be tolerable if Mara was with me, but she’s not. She’s

back at the studio, finishing up her series in time for the show I’m throwing

next week.

Whenever I want to snap the neck of one of the incompetent glaziers, I pull

out my phone and check the camera in her studio. It gives me a sense of

peace watching her dab away at the canvas, her music blasting, her spare

paintbrushes twisted up in her hair.

She’s much too engrossed in her work to think about me.
