"But if you get a good distraction you won’t think about it," Sylvester said and shrugged, "But maybe that’s just me when I’m working on a piece or something."
"Yeah, but my brain is weird. I could look at the ocean or a car driving down the street and think of music. It's all its wired to do." She tilted her head at him. "And when you say piece, you mean...?"
"Since I was fifteen. Kind of. I went back home for a little while when I was nineteen but… that was a while ago, and it was only for a year or so, so it doesn’t really count…. What about you, lady?"
"I just moved here, actually. I'm trying to start anew, if that makes sense."
"Yeah, sure. $8.59."
"What? I totally- You're kind of a jerk, did you know that? And it's kind of ironic since you work in a flower shop."
"Calliope. It’s nice to meet you too, lady."
"So, have you lived in Cloverbrook long?"
“Roses?” Colin asked, incredulously. “Did you say roses? We were talking about poppies. Christ,” he muttered under his breath, before leaving the room. He re-emerged just as quickly with a bouquet of yellow roses, flopping them on the counter and and tapping into the register, looking as put out as could be. “Speak up next time, will ya.”
"What?" she questioned with a heavy sigh. "No, I don't even know what poppies are. And I did speak up!"
"Alright then," he smiled, "My advice, just leave it for a bit. Focus on something else. It will come eventually."
"Mm. Nope. I can't do that. Then I'll just be thinking about it and it'll bother the hell out of me."
"I guess it is kind of cool. Not as cool as being a super professional, though. What’s your name, lady? I’d love to listen to some of your thingies. I love all kinds of music, so I’m always looking for bunches of stuff."
"Raya, it's nice to meet you. What's yours?"
No— Um, I’m sorry, you just caught me at the worst timing, I shouldn’t have snapped at you.
Uh, sure. No problem.
"Yes, that exactly it." He chuckled, "Kind of insensitive, yes. But it’s fine. I mean, I kind of use it like that, so it’s fine." He nodded, "Maybe you shouldn’t force it out. I think it’s best when it comes at moments you don’t expect it."
"No, you shouldn't be used to it. If I'm insensitive, call me on it." She shrugged. "Maybe. I'm just frustrated that it's like... right there and I just can't put it on paper. I got the melody, the music, just not the words. Which are kind of important."
"No, it’s fine. You’re not prying or nothing at all. I’m just a bartender lady, but sometimes I get to sing at the club I work at. My big sister worked there to and she volunteered me to write some songs to be performed there. Some of them were really hard to do."
"Are you a professional music lady?"
"That's actually really cool. Yeah, I've wanted to be a professional singer since before I could remember."
"It’s alright but, I would rather something more adventurous."
Like what?
Why is it different if a bird speaks Portuguese or if it speaks English?
Because I don't speak Portuguese? Other languages are interesting to me.
"Oh, that’s super cute, too. Sometimes I wish I had a cutely little nicknamie as a kid. Uh-huh. I just got finished doing some stuff for my job, and a collaboration before that. It’s nice to get to write for myself again."
"You write songs for your job? What do you do? I mean, crap, am I prying too much?"
"Of course, since it is my native language. I only wish I knew half as much Spanish as she knew Portuguese, though!"
"Dude, I'm actually just really impressed that your bird speaks Portuguese."
Sure….Is that your band?
No, I don't have a band- yet! I'm still working on that part. The Maniacs are my parents' band. They're kind of really important to me.
"She’s my daughter, Diona. She’s three. She was the first one to listen to my record when it was done. I don’t think I would’ve let Marit post it if she hadn’t liked it."
"Aw that's cute! My mom calls me her pup! So you write songs too?"
Not at all. What do you want it to say? If you want that autograph could come with some drinks.
Um, whatever you want! Could you sign it to Raya and the Maniacs? Drinks? Uh, sure, that'd be cool.
