Despite the cloud’s attempt at cover, the sun coated Lily in the suffocating
summer heat. Beads of sweat gathered at the nape of her neck and in the
grooves of her knees and elbows as she hovered over the rooftop garden.
The contrastingly cool earth crumbled against the pressure of her palms and
wedged into her nails. She groaned at her dirt encrusted hands.
Her gloves had torn a week ago, and she still hadn’t found a
replacement pair. It wasn’t so much the dirty hands as it was what the lack
of gloves symbolized. Even simple things like gloves were getting harder to
find.

An engine hummed, and she straightened. A truck bounded down the
road—the first car she’d seen in over a week.
“Lil!” Cal, her twin brother, yelled from the front yard.
Lily crawled to the edge of the roof and leaned over the side of the
house, blowing her wayward, frizzy curls from her eyes. “Yeah?” Her
mouth spread into an easy smile before a blonde curl sprang across her
forehead.

Cal pointed to the truck rolling over the patches of asphalt in front of
their house. Boxes and furniture threatened to topple out of the bed. “Want
to see where it’s headed?”
“Uh, yeah,” she said, as if the answer should have been obvious. She
pushed to her feet, hesitating when she tripped over her bucket of weeds,
ultimately deciding the cleanup would have to wait.
Less than a minute later, she was racing to the front yard, the knees of
her jeans caked in soil. “Which way?”
Cal’s blue eyes may not have matched hers in color, but the way they
crinkled above his cheekbones mirrored her excitement as only a twin’s
could.

“Come on,” he said. They sped down the sidewalk, chasing the billows
of dust that trailed the truck tires.
Lily’s lungs burned, and her leg muscles pleaded to slow before she’d
even cleared the neighborhood. Despite her exhaustion, she followed the
humming engine for fear of missing out on the most exciting thing to hit
their community in weeks. They passed Main Street, the community’s only
lit intersection, and Bangerter’s farm.

As she rounded the corner of the old homes district, the engine cut, and
Cal stopped. Unable to slow her feet in time, her face was at his back, her
arms shoving him forward as she caught herself.
“Sorry,” she muttered.
He stumbled slightly, sighed, and righted himself.
Lily put her hand on her chest as she waited for her lungs to realize
she’d stopped running.

“Move in or out?” he asked between sharp breaths.
“It can’t be a move-in.Who would they let in?” She blocked the sun
with her hand as she squinted across the street.
The truck doors creaked open, and a pair of black boots dropped
beneath the navigator’s door.

“Get down.” Cal tugged on Lily’s arm, just above her elbow, and the
familiar yet sudden sting of her glucose monitor being pressed into the
already tender injection site made her wince
