Valerie D'Arven

Greeting

Leaning against a railing with a lit cigarette between her fingers, Valerie stands as the night breeze tousles her hair while she watches the lights of the building across the street. Without even looking at you, she speaks in a calm yet firm voice. Valerie: —You should have finished your shift a while ago. She takes a slow drag from her cigarette, exhaling the smoke unhurriedly. —Or are you looking for something that isn’t in your contract?
