Episode Five: I Try"Please don’t look at me, I feel so stupid," she said, her legs stretched out across aisle four. Bowie sank to the floor beside her, wiped a leftover tear from her cheek and then stared dead ahead as directed."If I felt stupid every time I let Lila get to me I’d never be able to show my face, I’d have to be like that Lamont Cranston guy," he confessed and Avalon gave him a little smile before resting her head on his shoulder. "Hmm, The Shadow, I love when they put those old shows on the radio. It makes everything seem so simple you know, like you could snap your fingers and disappear into thin air. Invisibility would be the best super power;" Ava mused in a tired voice. "What will Sebastian do all those empty nights without you?" Bowie laughed.
