three months. it had only been three months since héloïse had fled the hamptons, tears stinging and dangling earrings swinging as she whipped her head towards freedom. “you can’t come this time,” she had cooed, trying to hush the golden retriever and nudge its nose back through the cracked door. there wouldn’t be a next time. not this time, if she had any say in the matter. it had been three 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 months, and time had found her illuminated by the dim glow of the jukebox. elsie had discovered that the best way to some hearts was through their stomach, and thus she was holding court. a manicured finger was flipping through, and brown eyes fell upon what’s new, pussycat? before flicking over to her victim companion. “I wonder just how many times you can play the same song on here ?? I won’t, but if we did, what should we play ??”

         she leans against the jukebox, blue eyes befalling the records with a pensive concentration. she’s never been much for music, at least not in the way most people were - studying names of albums and dates of release. there’s hardly anyone she recognizes apart from those in the big leagues - david bowie, elvis presley etcetera, etcetera. ‘   what’s stopping us ?   ’ she murmurs, a glint of challenge in her eyes. antics for the sake of amusement were one thing, but she considers it a test. to see how far she can go. her allegiance to this town is downtrodden and empty and she’s always been fond of a touch of trouble. any repercussions would be welcomed with open arms. thrown out of the diner ? great. thrown out of the town ? well now that’s just wishful thinking. ‘   don’t stop me now. queen.   ’

the jukebox echoed vague nostalgia – a saccharine shrine to days gone by, yet maintaining some form of relevancy. nothing quite compared to the symphony, or the hole in the wall clubs she often stumbled out of with smudged stage makeup and a stranger linked upon her arm. so much of her life was poised and calculated, but the past months were brought about after a mischievous reckoning. she was waiting for the hammer to fall but it hadn’t. after three months, it might be time to carve out and carve into a new life – to fill her days with something other than limp salads and the thrift store. héloïse noted the challenge, and a spark of amusement rose to meet it. the brunette queued up some trouble before peeling a few dollars off of a roll and turned fully to the other. "how much change you got ??”
