If you knew the campus, you knew Circle Coffeehouse. It was right in the middle of everything-- part coffee shop, part student museum. Reyna was seated in the corner, where barely anyone could see her. The circular mosaic on the floor and student art combined with the creepy Halloween decorations all became a big blur in her vision as she stared into nothing.

Kathryn Stiles smoothed a crease in the skirt of her pinstriped yellow-white dress before reaching to open the cold metal handle of the glass door. The room housed a stale air that had been exquisitely tempered with long days of paperwork and the silent drone of municipality. Three long lines of people stood waiting at the forefront of plastic Walmart tables. For a few seconds, she gently rocked back and forth in her flats and felt the pressure shift from the balls of her feet to her heels as she scanned the options ahead of her. The line to...
