"AU REVOIR." BEATRICE bid a farewell.
Delores and Beatrice were stood in the driveway as snow began to fall from the sky above, and the crisp are bit at their skin.
"Au revoir." Five repeated back, the smallest of smiles on his face, his eyes glancing at Delores who barely spoke the whole meal.
"Au revoir." Delores said, her expression plain, "But I'll probably see you tomorrow, right?" she asked knowingly, referring to his usual café visits.
Five stared at her for a moment, reminding himself that this wasn't the girl he smoked with, out the window of her bedroom, like some rebel high school students.
"Probably," he responded, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his suit, and let out a sigh, but his breath was white due to the temperature.

Delores's nausea immediately washed away the moment Five left. Her head stopped spinning and her life felt normal again, and not on edge— as if the world was going to end.
Oh.
That just made her sick again. Great.
Delores picked up the dirtied. bowls— that Five oddly enough tried to argue that he would clean his own bowl, but lost the argument fast.
"He was sweet, wasn't he?" Beatrice asked while she put away the rest of the bottle of wine.
Delores looked over her shoulder at her mother, "Yeah. Sure." she responded blandly.
Beatrice frowned at her daughter, and sighed, closing the cabinet, "Do you feel sick?" she asked while approaching her daughter.
"A bit." she responded to her mother, turning to her, bowls in her hands, "Dinner was good, Mom." she tried to change the subject.
Beatrice sighed, and pushed some of her daughter's hair from her face, before taking the bowls from her hands, "I knew you were uncomfortable, I am sorry for forcing this on you."
Delores nodded, then immediately shook her head, "No, It's fine, I need to try and find some kind of solution to this whole thing. The idea was good, maman."
