It’s deep and rich, but not overdone

It smells like nature, like ainside that I know I could never deal with on my own

Wow

I’uy and we haven’t even—

Suze’s rushed on up ahead, urginghand to come see as she suddenly slows and starts to creep up to the only open doorway along the wide passage

With double sleepers as individual suites, the whole of first class seeh the train’s still the same width as economy

I wonder what it feels like to travel, first class, anything… even a train

Looks pretty comfy to me, but I don’t have much time to soak in the atmosphere

Suze is looking like she’ll burst if I don’t join her

I feelcold My h me

I can’t do this

It’s too much

Unable to convey it to Suzanna, it’s not just my nerves that have me suddenly out of whack

It’s so I can’t put into words even in my own mind

It feels like if I see thiswith Suze’s stupid dare,unstoppable will be set into motion

It doesn’t just frighten me, it scares the shit out of oing to happen next

Even though I can’t string two thoughts together

I’ve spun onback towards our co to the stranger

She figures I’ve sidled up next to her, but once she realizes I’ away, she makes some excuse and darts after me

But I doublesure she can’t catch me until I’m safe

Until I can spot e stickiness of econo freshness of first class

But I can still sne, and now I’ve heard his voice

Suzanna’s taller fraot a hold ofme back

“Oh no you don’t,” she cries out, half-laughing, half-growling

“You’re gonna go through with your dare, like it or not…” she reminds me
