This place does a lot of business, thought Blurtso. Look at all those people buying books downstairs. I’ve heard almost every language in less than three hours. The world is a very big place, but it's cozy in here. I can smell the rain whenever someone opens the door, and feel the breeze. It sure is cozy in here. I’m lucky to be at Harvard. I think I’ll have another café mocha before heading home.

I like to listen to the rain, said Bonny. Yes, said Pablo, and see it on the glass. The drops gathering, growing, then scattering. Yes, said Bonny, gathering and scattering, gathering and scattering. Like the cycle of the stars.
