“Gets off the train half-drunk and it’s raining again on the platform. Strikes him suddenly that he has no umbrella: and when, where. On the tram he had it. Station toilet he thinks, yes, messing with the lemonade. For Jesus’ sake, he’s had that thing years. He actually liked it. Climbs into a taxi, cash in his pocket, out towards the old ring road please.” —Sally Rooney, Intermezzo
