Summary
“Y’ever think ’bout it?”
Arthur’s voice was low, almost lost in the breeze from the window. You’d glanced at him from where you sat, hat tipped forward just enough to cast his face in shadow. You could see the hard set of his jaw, way his fingers twitched restlessly against the table.
“Think about what?”
Arthur exhaled, slow and measured, like he wasn’t sure if he wanted to say anything at all.
“What comes after.”
“Do you mean dying, Arthur?”
He huffed out a quiet, humorless laugh. “I mean livin’.”
