She woke up sweating. She hadn't seen Danny in years. The dream felt real. All of the worries, the burning oil, the greasy pizza felt real. 

She went to the sink and put cold water on her hands, and then the back of her neck. 

She sighed and tried to...

He held the piece of paper in his mouth. Letting his saliva soak through. That was his plan. Maybe  Imogen Howe would return now, and laugh at him. 

"I can't believe you thought I was serious! HAHAHA!" She'd say. 

But she never came back. 5 minutes went by and now...

The park wasn't anything special. A bowl of green with a stripe of grey cutting through. Where joggers and rollerbladers went by. There was a playground and a pavilion. It was enough for  Westcity . Jack liked it, but still felt out of place.

When she woke up she thought about Keith. On their trip they talked about dreams. All kinds Keith would say, future and what you just woke up with. He wanted to know everything.

"Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. You've got the right number, but the wrong time. Give me a few and I'll get back to you. Oh and don't worry about leaving nothing. I...

His freezer was in the garage. Something Jay thought was weird. His parents didn't have that, but thats where they all were. The snacks. They had everything and most things Jay's mom wouldn't buy, and all the things the ice cream truck guy had.

"What you want?"
