“She wonders if everyone feels it, this hunger to live every life, to exist as every possible version of herself. ‘There’s always a moment, isn’t there?’ she says, flicking her cigarette end off the fire escape and watching it fall. ‘A moment when you choose.

To be okay with not knowing.’ She stands, patting her pocket for the keys.”
