Courtney, her expression a complex blend of wistful longing for a lost world and burgeoning fear, sits at her kitchen table in a Winnipeg apartment. The autumn light, weak and grey, struggles through the rain-streaked pane, casting a sombre glow on her withdrawn posture. A cold coffee mug sits untouched, a silent testament to a morning lost to thoughts of another life.
