    Summary

    When asked about her coworker, Thad, the first thing Emma Perkins would say was that they weren’t friends. Like, who could be friends with a guy like that? She might say it with a wry turn to her smile, and might be remembering that time he drove her home from the mechanic, but it would be true all the same. Like, c’mon, Dude, it was just a coffee shop.

    When asked about his coworker, Ella, Paul Matthews’ first question would be: who? They’d worked in different office suites within CCRP’s labyrinthian construction and it wasn’t like anybody was still talking about The Ashmore Foundation, not-so-recently acquired anymore, and the not-so-mysterious death of its former CEO. They’d shared an elevator only once and not said a word to each other.

    Neither she nor Thad had much to do with the big picture stuff going on. They were more of a...subplot at the end of the world. A b-side that didn’t merit much discussion, so the story goes.

    (AKA Cinderella's Castle in Hatchetfield).
