Ep 2

Grey Springs - Main Street

You and Ezra walk through main street. He tells you a little bit about the history of the street, which shops are new and which have been there longer than he can remember. Most fall into the latter category; Grey Springs hasn't changed much over the years, and most people who live there have lived there for several generations. You pass the bookshop.

Ezra

"My dad grew up in this town, so we're not really new here either. But the Kaminskis have been here forever. The bookstore is super old and has always been in their family. I know Robin plans to take it over once her dad retires, too."
He absentmindedly studies the shop's exterior as he mulls over his thoughts. Then he looks up at you. "Do you think you'll ever go back to your hometown?"

Ezra: "I can't imagine what that's like. I don't know where I'd go if I suddenly couldn't stay in Grey Springs anymore. I like going away on vacations but it's nice to know you always have a home base to return to. Somewhere you've known for a long time... And it knows you, too, if that makes sense."

Ezra: "Do you think wherever your parents are moving is gonna feel like home to you? Sixteen years is a long time, don't you feel like that old town will always have a small piece of you?" He sheepishly strokes the back of his head and averts his eyes for a second. "I guess maybe I'm kinda weird about this sort of thing."

Ezra: "That's so crazy. They just took your home from you. Even if you say you're not that attached to the place, it's where you grew up, right?"

Ezra

"I guess I wouldn't mind living somewhere else for a bit... But I think I'd come back to Grey Springs eventually. I'm not sure. I think about graduation a lot, and I don't know what I want to do yet. I know it's still a year away, but still, it's a little scary. Julian says it'll all work out and I figure he's probably right. And there's nothing here, I gotta leave Grey Springs if I wanna make something of myself."
