They’d been short staffed, so he offered to work his weekly hours out here rather than in Manhattan at the Middle School Community Center, where he worked with grades six through eight kids. Then again, it had taken me three trains to get out to Flushing, where Coop was volunteering this week. With the sun shining, the temps would have been perfect. Granted, we were only two weeks into the new semester and it was barely past Labor Day, but it had been positively chilly.

I'm never putting myself through that again haha. I tried one once (by accident.because I forgot to check the "finished" box), and waiting months for a resolution was absolute torture. The fics are good (because that's apparently where all the talented writers went), but it's not the same.
