A Pattern of Shadows

The weather in Toronto during April was always unpredictable. Sometimes it snowed, sometimes it rained, sometimes it was scorching hot, and sometimes—like today—the weather was perfect. The sun was shining, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and it was a cool 22° Celsius, all of which made for a pleasant walk from the University of Toronto to The Queen and Beaver Public House less than a mile away, where Colin Spencer was meeting his girlfriend Natsumi Hashimoto for lunch.
