Sorrow Burns, She Fans the Flame
- I -
Kitty settles down on the cold concrete at the top of the steps leading from her apartment porch to the ground. It's dusk and a chill, bluish light settles in shadows across the view of lower New York.
"That about does it, y'all. You boys go on ahead. Ah'm goin' stay with Kitty."
Kitty doesn't look up when she hears Rogue, self-proclaimed southern belle, shooing off the men back to the mansion. They tromp past her down the stairs, few glancing back. Rogue settles beside her on the top step.
"Beer, huh? Pass one over, sugah."
Kitty reaches blindly and hands Rogue a beer, then tosses back her head and downs the last of her Miller Lite.
