"Do you wanna see heaven tonight?
Underneath
those lights you will look so beautiful
Do you
wanna see the stars before they fall?"
Eyes closed, Bettina listened to the tune, a wistful smile on her
face.? It was so pretty, and he was looking at her as if it was
written especially for her, even though it couldn't possibly be.?
Still, it was fun to pretend, and she was able to appreciate the
skill that went into the craft, and while she was a bit envious, she
knew full well that everyone had their own strengths, and that
although she couldn't compose music, she could take a machine that
was useless and give it life again.
"That's so beautiful," she murmured, "yer gonna be a hit, I'm sure!"
"Hey dirty girl..." he said leaning back to rest on
his elbows and look up at the sky. "... I know this endearing
asshole, who knows where all the good jobs are... But he can't
really be in two places at once and cover them all". Virgil turned
his head to look at her, "He might even know a spot where a gal
could sleep in her own bed... Jis' saying..."
"Oh, really?"? She glanced at him with a grin, shrugging. "I might
be interested..."? Almost anything but making bricks?
"If you can handle some music, a horde of cats and
some roomies...but yah have yer own bed and what not".
"Cats?"? At that, she brightened.? She liked animals of any sort,
but cats and rabbits in particular.? "I have a roomie already, she's
really nice, but my own bed?"? With a frown, she looked at him.?
"What's th' catch?? Like, what sort of work?? And...too bad I don't
know an endearing asshole..."
