The Keys, One Last Time

Thursday the twenty-fourth of February 2028, the tenth lesson of this level and the last of its first part. Ten in the morning, Emma's studio, empty but for Madame Garnier's cupboard, and the inspection, the walls, the shower that works, the deposit back by transfer today, the keys on the table, the door code for the last time. On the landing, Monsieur and Madame Petit with a red toolbox for the missing screws, and dust in his eye again. At seven, the balcony, and the two months in ten lines. Say I'll give it back to you right away, with you and it before the verb, and I promised it to you, with the e you hear.

THE STORY

Thursday the twenty-fourth of February 2028, ten to ten, the street door of Madame Garnier's building, and the code for the last time. Upstairs, twenty-five square metres with nothing left in them but the cupboard, Madame Garnier with a sheet of paper, a shower that has worked since the first day, a deposit to give back, and the keys on the table. On the landing, the Petits' door opens, and between them, on the floor, something red. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
