BROOKLYN’S IN THE HOUSE

The freezer burnt Haagen-Dazs in the only flavor she didn’t want, vanilla, sold to her in a crushed-in pint, was conspicuous in the last year’s festive holiday packaging. It was rung up by a man who didn’t look away from a soccer match on his snowy television, screaming loudly in a Middle-Eastern tongue, while palming to her the improper change and a plastic bag with a hole along one of the seams. And none of it did much to soothe Lorraine’s mood. Neither did a night of snuggling with Pooh-Pooh, nor the three unreturned messages she’d left for Tommy.

But the morning run did. The winter weather was edging in. Despite the depression this time of year normally brought on, Lorraine was able to buy herself some sense of thrill, at least for the time being, at discovering New York City like this for the first time. The birds were getting on their way, but a few lingered loudly—maybe calling for a straggler get-together. The chilly twigs snapped brightly underfoot. The slightly burnt sweetness of roasting chestnuts already joined the scent cloud that hung over Manhattan’s busier districts. At this time between summer and the holiday season, there seemed to be fewer tourists and thus more room to move, which Pooh-Pooh gladly claimed, running on one side of a path and then the other, married to none.

Stores changed their window displays: autumn-toned pottery in pumpkin hues, inviting smatterings of red and deep greens and browns, glittering jewels in ruby and emerald—perfect for a holiday gift if only you started saving now. Police officers wore their jackets zipped halfway, their walkie-talkies echoing louder in the barren trees and sparse grass.

She could almost forget everything in the world running this way, noticing life this way. Feeling part of something new did have its advantages, as did the warmth and blind comfort of the familiar. You could feel more strength coming to the table with more knowledge more that you didn’t have before.

And so it was a little more confusing when she was shaken out of her own thoughts and her own morning journey by a voice that rang both new and comforting at the same time.

“Hey there.”

She realized it was Matt who’d spoken, and she allowed herself to drift from her dreamy state back to the rhythm of human interaction. “How’s it going?”

“Well, you’ve got me out of breath for the moment. I could barely catch up with you.” He heaved the words out, his chest rapidly rising and falling.

“Let’s sit,” Lorraine suggested at a coffee vendor parked next to a bench.

“Deal.”

“Can I buy you a coffee?” Lorraine asked, pulling a couple of folded dollars from a zip pocket in her sweatshirt. Digging her hand in
