City 1,002 – Mimi 1. But I’m keeping count. And I’m not going anywhere.
The "Vs." in Mimi Vs. The Big Bad City eventually begins to soften. One day, the subway delay doesn't trigger a meltdown; it provides ten extra minutes to finish a chapter of a book. The towering skyscrapers stop feeling like they’re closing in and start feeling like they’re reaching up.
