    Summary

    “Hey there.”

    Elphaba isn’t superstitious; she doesn’t believe in magic or ghosts or the supernatural; she has always been wary of organized religion; she’s never understood the people who believe in fate. Some might say it’s cynical. But Elphaba just doesn’t get it - she likes logic and reason and believes that everything can be explained.

    So the thump in her chest at the voice is confusing to her. The sudden sense that the world has shifted on its axis is confusing.

    Summary

    “I have a package for Galinda Upland.”

    “It’s just Glinda,” she corrects reflexively.

    “Well.” The voice on the other side of the buzzer pauses. “Unless there is a Galinda living in apartment 3C, I’m going to assume this is for you.”

    “Bold of you.”

    A huff. “Glinda Upland, can you please just buzz me up so I can do my job?”
