*Eve is painting their toenails by the open window of their apartment…each nail a different shade of red or pink…they stop mid-stroke on their middle toe to notice the song Rose Blood by Mazzy Star crooning from some other window or rooftop down Edentown’s Main Street…Lilith put Rose Blood on a mix for Eve when they first met...it makes their whole body feel lush…*
*Jesus is arranging the OOTD on the front window mannequin of the Garden, listening to Mazzy Star on their headphones…they found a luscious string of baroque pearls and wrapped them around the neck, a choker of abundance…then an exquisite thrifted wrap skirt, different patches of reds and pinks, textures of silk, linen, and sheer polyester…but they cannot figure out the top…then Mags pulls up to the window (late as always) and gives a thumb’s up, gesturing to the mannequin…Jesus notices her top, an oxblood crop, short sleeves, scoop neck, little curls at the edges…perfection…Mags notices Jesus noticing her top…rolls her eyes…smiles…walks into the shop and heads to the dressing room to trade out their top…*
*Mags has just come from Luc’s apartment on Main Street…where they sat on the rooftop together as the sun came up…Luc strumming his guitar…Mags softly singing Rose Blood…the pinks and reds of the sunrise glowing up their cheeks…*
*Jo got up early with the pink sunrise to get tres leches cake ingredients from Sal’s Grocery, letting Mary sleep in…he turns on the radio in the kitchen as he gets the batter started, whisking milk to the sounds of fuzzy-electric guitar strums of Rose Blood…*
*When Mary wakes, she sees her usual cup of coffee waiting for her (from Jo) on the bedside table…this time atop a bed of red rose petals, the scent of rose and coffee mixing and filling her whole, sleepy body…slow music crooning from the kitchen pulling her from her pillows…the promise of a deep kiss from her love…*
