Redhead
I saw her in the dim light of the bar of the "Club of the Exchange" almost immediately entered into.
Long red, slightly curly hair, a beautiful face, and bright green eyes.
She sat at the bar and listened absently saxophonist that played a forgotten melody.
I sat at the counter:
-Hey, Jim! - I waved.
The bartender came over to me and shook my hand.
- Hello, Alex. You are early today. - Jim smiled.
- I decided to finish early. I'm tired, Jimmy. - Today is really aching heart, sensing whether the trouble, whether a change of weather.
I smiled ruefully - old.
- Alex! - Loud, during a break, he waved his hand in greeting unchanged labuh this institution.
- Tim! - I raised my hand up. - How you doing, man?
- While the game. - He smiled sadly and licked his lips and began to play again.
Saxophone touched the depths of my insides. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. In memory surfaced person people I left many years ago, after moving to Chicago.
Heart ached with renewed vigor, I suddenly remembered, in minute detail, the places of his childhood - the broad Volga steppe, the smell of sagebrush.
From memories became sad. From the memoirs of no avail, and I thought I was a practical man.
I knocked over a gulp of whiskey and smoke, asked the bartender:
- Jimmy, and this girl is good after all?
- Oh, yes, Alex! - Old Negro shook his gray head and smiled. - Very pretty lady. Very!
I took a bottle of vermouth and sat down next to her.
- Hello.
She tore her eyes from the rapt saxophonist and looked me in the eye. My heart was struck by two green lake in her eyes.
I gasped at the magnificence. From its perfection.
- Hi. - She gave me his palm. - Shofranka.
- ABOUT! - Involuntarily I blurted out. - Are you Romanian?
- And how do you know? - She smiled.
- I am a historian. - I poured into glasses of vermouth and it yourself. - Here's to Free!
She barely sipped vermouth and smiled and asked:
- Do you even know my name translation. Do you really studied the history of my homeland?
- Not really, Frank. I study the history of the Old World the pre-Christian era. In particular myths.
- That is a fairy tale? - She laughed merrily.
- Yes, but in every fairy tale has some truth.
- I am not sure. - She sipped vermouth, and again turned to the saxophonist. - How is he a great game.
- He was a friend of Charles Reyem, his name is Tim Rotkins. If you want I can introduce you.
She sighed, thinking a little, said:
- I travel to Chicago. It makes no sense, I'm not coming back here.
I suddenly felt uneasy.
I thoroughly in love, it seems.
- It's a pity. - I turned back to the counter and lit a cigarette.
- It is a pity that you can not introduce me to him? - She looked at me slyly.
- No, - I answered firmly. - I'm sorry that you leave and do not return.
- Such is the fate. - She shrugged her shoulders and asked. - Alex, let's run away from here?
I just looked at her and realized that he was missing. Absolutely. On his head was gone.
I took her by the hand and we went out into the gathering dusk.
- And, the truth, Frank, that in Romania all the red girl vampires? - I asked.
She laughed.
- Tales, my dear. It's a fairy tale.
