Where do you look for someone who's never really there?
Always on a staircase but never on a stair”

“Aarya looks increasingly flustered. "Ines, that's private-"
"Wow, Aarya, who knew you had such a big heart?" Ash says, now wearing a smile as well.
Aarya's mouth opens. "I have no such thing. Don't you dare even suggest it."
"No sense in hiding it," Ines says. "Might as well just come out and admit the truth."
Aarya's face turns bright red. "I can't wait until Jag kills us all. Then I won't have to listen to this crap for a second longer."
Even though it's a morbid joke, we all laugh at her absurdity.”

“Stevie, how many stories -"
"It's all one story," Stevie said, and the confidence in her voice surprised her. "It was about money then, and it's about money now.”

“Her attention was drawn to a movement in the woods in the direction of the river. The trees were slowly coming back into bud, but they were still bare enough that she could make out a shape.
"Moose," she said, almost in a whisper. "Moose. Moose."
She tugged Nate's sleeve.
"Moose," she repeated.
The object moved away, out of sight. Stevie blinked. It had just been there, the massive antlers moving through the trees.
"My moose," she said in a low voice. "I finally got it. The universe paid me in moose."
With one backward glance at the magical spot, Stevie Bell resumed walking toward her class. Anatomy was still ahead of her. Lots of things were ahead of her, but this one was the closest.
"That wasn't a moose, was it?" Janelle said when Stevie was out of earshot. "That's a branch, right? It moved in the wind?"
"It's a branch," Nate replied.
"Like, that's obviously a branch," Vi said. "Should we tell her? She seems really invested in this."
"Definitely not," Nate said as Stevie vanished in the direction of the classroom buildings, earbuds already in her ears. "Let her have her moose.”
