Needing a break from the latest story (heroine not solidifying nicely), Hannah walked to Times Square, a goodly distance from her hotel.  She'd often draw character inspiration from watching people in daily life chores, opening a store, conducting traffic, trying to negotiate the city subway system.  A brisk day, passing Back Issues, a second hand store, she decided to step inside.  It wasn't a place Hannah frequented often, lacking a coffee shop or various seating areas, the photos were helpful in character development and she did enjoy getting out of the autumn weather.<br/><br/>Absentmindedly taking the stairs up to the second floor, she glanced to left and did a double take.  A man looking much like her Andrew, but much leaner and  not so self-conscious of his dress, stood near a window looking at  a periodical.  Pausing to savor the memory of him, she started when the stranger seemed to sense her stare and looked her way. Brilliant blue eyes, same familiar jawline, Hannah found herself speechless with wonder and  fear.
