She's a Lady11

Two neurodivergent teens possessed by an incomprehensible entity…

He could've been living such a beautiful life with her. If I were him, I would've never missed the opportunity to have a life where I could listen to her sing our children to sleep every night, telling stories that let their imaginations run wild as they dreamed.

"She gave him a wistful smile. "Sure would've been nice to meet you under different circumstances."

"Like how?" It was a dangerous line of questioning, but he couldn't help himself.

"Oh, like you came to one of my shows and heard me sing," she said. "And afterward you came up to chat, and maybe we had a drink and a dance or two."

He could imagine it, her singing somewhere like Pluribus's nightclub, him catching her eye, connecting before they'd ever even met. "And I'd come back the next night."

"Like we had all the time in the world," she said.”
