The cleaning company wanted Anya to start at 6:30, but in spring and summer she came earlier. It was light enough to see the cigarette butts and empty cups, the loose pages of free newspapers and occasional oyster shell left on the patio. She held the biodegradable bag -- this city, Anya knew, had strict rules

Matt looked at the clock: 5:46. He had slept not at all. He'd been lying there looking at the ceiling since Cassi conked out a little after four, after three hours of her crying and recriminations and threats of going back to Brazil. It made no sense; she was the one who came home at one in the morning

James did not want to read more into it. Yes, she was friendly to him. But maybe that was just the job. Waiting in line, he glanced out the front window at what he knew was her bike.
