to events past; call on Laxmi and Malcolm to melt, open up.
Blotchy, intermingling, lump in throat roundness and heaviness. |

 |
Late night, fog.
Laxmi and Malcolm mournful drink while waiting for the ferry; Laxmi into
fog as Colette approaches; Colette and Malcolm re-unite.
Much hope, not for naught as spirits rise with spirits imbibed: the mood
lifts a little, relief from fuschia with blues, bit of green. |
|
 |
Late night, fog lifting.
Laxmi out of shadows and Ovide out of drunkenness; also reunite.
Back to red and yellow happiness. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Noon, sunny.
Happy, happy ending. |
