Blind Jake sat at his corner table, both eyes on the door, and watched as Sadie entered the Starlight. That bitch was getting too sassy, and something was going to have to be done. Lucky for him, he was just the man to do it.

He watched her walk calmly to the bar, slinging her coat across a stool, and leaning in towards the bartender. "Hey Joe. Whiskey."
The bartender poured her a glass and cautiously told her, "Girl, you better watch yourself. Word is that Bline' Jake got a sore spot with your name on it."
"Well, Joe, you know what they say about cat and mouse..." she swallowed the whiskey and set the empty glass back on the bar, "If you wanna win, don't be the mouse."

She turned and walked between the tables and across the dance floor, edging ever closer to where Blind Jake sat waiting in the shadows. When she drew close, he stood and called to her: "Sadie, a word please?"
Sadie turned and smiled her sweetest smile, "Why Jake," she purred, "Fancy meeting you here. What can I do for you, sir?"
Jake bravely started in on the speech he had prepared, her drinking at work, sassing the customers, fighting with the other girls, but what he hadn't been prepared for was the smug smile that crept across the woman's face. The bitch was laughing at him, plain as day. "....an' voice or no voice, girl, you better straighten up. You got it?"
Sadie kept her smile, and casually put one hand to her hip. "An' if I don't?"

Blind Jake's hand shot out and caught Sadie across her cheek, but the thing Jake had forgotten is that for some folks, Hell is in slow motion. Sadie had seen that hand coming for at least a full minute, and wasn't fazed by it at all. She blinked her eyes and grinned maliciously at him. "That all you got for me? Otherwise I have to go get dressed." And with that, she turned her back on Blind Jake and walked out of the lounge.

When she returned, the tables had filled with customers, and the sound from the piano keys filled the room as the light slowly left.
Your sweet expression
The smile you gave to me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
I hear you whisper
"I'll always love you
And it always bring me regret
It's so easy to remember
But so hard to forget
