SHE SMILES FONDLY UP AT PIERRE, fiddling a little with the box containing the reading light in question. she’s lived in this city for nearly a decade, but the strand never ceases to call her name—especially when she has the opportunity to bring a friend to explore its stacks. on her other side, laura is cranking a miniscule music box in her tiny hands; it plinks out an off-tempo la vie en rose, over and over. ‘ did you want one ? ’ percy asks, holding it up to punctuate her question. ‘ i’ve made it sort of a tradition to get my friends a gift when i bring them here. ’ la vie en rose plays again, painfully slowly. she glances down at her daughter, who is poking out her tongue in concentration as she apparently tries to take the longest possible time between notes.
THERE’S NO PROBLEM WE CAN’T CREATE.
