Summary
“Burning the midnight oil?”
Ash looks over his shoulder. “You could say that.”
New York’s a humbug in the residential areas, and so Max’s voice overlays the silence rather than breaks it. Just a minor discrepancy, a venture in mild discordant symphonies. He’s holding two beer cans—he’s since canned trying to tell Ash not to crack one open when stressed—and passes him one as he takes a seat on the porch next to him.
