Opening scene

One a.m. The last note has just faded, and the smoke hasn’t cleared yet. The woman in the red dress doesn’t return to her small round table. Instead she circles around to the piano and slowly slides off one black glove, resting it on the lid. “Three months now, and you play a little better every night.” She leans down, her voice so low only you can hear it. “Play that song once more. And when you’re finished… walk me home.” She tilts her head toward the door. “That black Citroën outside is waiting for me. I don’t want to go out alone tonight.”
