Rachel rubbed her hands together and tucked them under her arms as she stood on the cold New York rooftop. Blearily she could see the roof door just a few feet away, but the snow was beginning to stick to her lashes and she was too cold to wipe them away.

And then she didn't even have the taste of mediocrity to keep her company.
