Félicie (2015)
“Félicie’s Café au Lait Her eyes are wide open. She does not know what time it is. Last night she forgot to wind up her alarm-clock as she usually does. The room is filled with almost complete darkness, for all that is visible of the approaching dawn are silver streaks through the slats of the shutters.
Félicie listens. Her mind is blank. Mind and body are still sluggish, as if she has been worn down by sleeping too deeply, and for the moment she cannot tell what is real from what she has dreamed. She has been quarrelling, arguing vehemently, she has even come to blows with the placid man she hates so much who is bent on destroying her. Ah! how she loathes him!
Who opened the door? Because someone did during the night. She was lying there, waiting, worrying. It was pitch-dark. Yellowish light came in from the landing, but the door closed, and a car engine started up … The sound of car engines has flitted in and out of her entire night’s sleep.
