UPDATED: Celestine Ch 7- Enter Mr. A

In contrast to Angel’s sashaying walk from before, where each sensual stride was deliberated to entice, this one walks with theatrical authority. The room is silent with anticipation, and even Charlie’s anxiety is now completely erased upon the sight of this impeccably garbed stranger, shoulders broad in an carmine suit echoing the autumn breeze and glacé wingtips shining with the brilliance of black ice.
Then he lifts his gaze.
The intensity of twin earths strikes her dumb, jubilation and boldness overflowing with charm. Instantly, Charlie is taken in, left breathless under the weight of his unmoving stare. A flourish of wonder pools in her pattering breast, a new rhythm replacing the fear she was only entrapped in moments ago.
“Well well well, ladies and gentleman, ain’t this a sockdollager! We’ve got our very own Mister A performing for us!”
Mr. A?
“Hold on to your hats, gentleman! You’re in for a treat!”
The gleam in his low-set cheaters combined with his shining showman’s smile is blinding, even when he leaps up the steps two at a time. He towers above her up close, prompting her to back up a step. Not that he takes offense to her retreat. His amusement is far too apparent, bright in his stare.
Placing down his umbrella to the far side of the stage, he suddenly removes his hat and bows, startling her. His hair is carefully coiffed to the right of his forehead, blazes of browned auburn aflame under electric light.
“My dear, may I have the honor of singing with you this evening?”
Unable to speak beyond her awe, her head gives a stilted nod. Twisting his wrist back, he flips his hat back onto his head. He acknowledges the pianist with a snap, who excitedly situates himself.
“Take it away, my good man!”
