My Blueberry Nights Page #5

Dear Jeremy

In the last few days,

I've been learning how to not trust people

and I'm glad I failed

Sometimes we depend on other people

as a mirror

To define us and tell us who we are

And each reflection makes me

like myself a little more

Elizabeth

Hello, Cafe Klyuch

DAY 300 ny

Rent

You still open?

No reason for me to still be here if I wasn't

I heard this place has the best coffee

and pie in town

Where'd you hear that?

I get around

You wanna come inside?

It's cold

What are you doing out here? It's freezing

It's a beautiful night.

I wanted to get some fresh air

Have a seat

Isn't this reserved?

Reserved for you

Want something to eat?

Yeah, I'm starving

What's good tonight?

What about a steak?

That sounds good

Does it come with home fries?

Or mashed

They both sound good

Half an order of both?

I'll get the home fries with the steak,

medium rare

and a side of mashed potatoes

Coming right up

Learning something about me?

There's something different about you

Or maybe it's me that's changed

Where are the keys?

You don't keep them anymore?

Been trying to give them back to their owners

Do you want yours?

No. I don't need them anymore

What about your keys?

I got rid of them

Good night, Jeremy

I'll see you tomorrow

You know I came here the night I left

but I didn't make it past the front door

I almost walked in but I knew that if I did

I would just be the same old Elizabeth

I didn't want to be that person anymore

Hope you enjoy it

Are they still left untouched at the end

of the night?

Yep, more or less

Then why do you keep making them?

Well I always like having one around

just in case

you pop in and fancy a slice

Do you remember that last night

you were here?

When you practically ate an entire pie

all by yourself?

Really?

I remember getting really drunk and

having a god awful hangover the next day

Nothing else?

No, nothing else

Or don't you have a tape I can watch?

I do... but...

I've watched it so many times

that the picture started fading

to black and white

And now it's completely unwatchable

Must have been an interesting night

It was

Never seen a girl eat so much in all my life

Like this?

No, it was more like this

It's good pie

It took me nearly a year to get here

It wasn't so hard to

cross that street afterall

It all depends on who's waiting for you

on the other side
