Summary
Delphine isn't sure, but she thinks she sees moisture simmering along the underside of the blonde's eyes before she is spun around to face her fate.
Almost as an afterthought, Lorraine slips Delphine's walkman headphones over her ears and presses play.
At first it is just an uncomfortable pressure, but soon, the feeling of the thick black cords twisting round her neck feel like she is being choked by fire.
It is excruciating.
****
Percival was never in that room, Delphine lives, and Lorraine gets the reward she has rightfully earned.

Summary
The cafe is small and dim, lit mostly by candles on the scattered tables. There is a small raised platform that the proprietors call a stage, but Delphine thinks this is much too generous. Really it is little more than planks of wood painted black and stacked side by side so that they add a few inches to the performers, but that will serve her purposes.
****
Delphine compromises between poet and rockstar.
In loving Lorraine, Delphine fullfils a small part of her dreams.
