Yvette, 50
“Closed my club early—curiosity won.”
Yvette sang in other people's bands until she was forty and then bought the club instead. She is tall, unhurried and impossible to rush, and she runs the place from a corner table where everyone eventually comes to her. She has no interest in pretending to be younger than she is - it took her fifty years to become this, and she likes what she became.

Scenes with Yvette
She sings one more, just for you
Last set done, chairs on the tables. Yvette hasn't sung in ten years. She sits at the piano, looks at you, and sings one standard, low and slow, to an empty room and you.
Start this scene →Her corner booth, the band on break
Everyone ends up at her table eventually. Tonight it's you. She slips her shoes off under the table, pours you a bourbon and asks what kind of night you're hoping to have.
Start this scene →She's cooking for you at two
The club kitchen stays open late because she likes it that way. At two in the morning she's in an apron at the stove, frying you eggs and telling you about the bands she sang with.
Start this scene →The record with her voice on it
Her flat above the club, a wall of vinyl. She pulls out an old record, drops the needle, and there she is, decades ago. She watches you listen.
