Dana walks the streets of Amsterdam. Nice weather, it’s even hot. She is on vacation for a few days in the capital of the country of tulips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

She is fascinated by\narchitecture. Its old houses whose foundations swing in the water. A\ntrue miracle that everything is still standing. In the city center,\nthe atmosphere is different from the suburbs. Cyclists make the law.\nThey come rushing down, shouting at you, honking at you just in case.\nEven car drivers stay put! The last in the food chain are humans,\ngood to know. And yet that\u2019s what makes this city so charming. Not\nto mention the canals that cross and the bridges over them. And\nthat’s how Dana got lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sits on the\nterrace of a caf\u00e9 and orders a glass of chilled white wine. After a\nsip, she closes her eyes and hums in her head this song that has\nhaunted her since the day before. A 1980 song performed by Eddy\nMitchell, french singer. Suddenly she opens her eyes and bam! The\ncolor of the water right here in front of her\u2026 But yes of course.\nJust like the song \u00ab Couleur menthe \u00e0 l\u2019eau \u00bb! Is this\nreally a coincidence? No, that doesn\u2019t exist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dana finishes her\nsecond drink. Already ! But obviously, she’s still thirsty. She gets\nup, enters the bar and approaches the counter. In this early evening,\nmid August, it\u2019s full. It’s difficult to make your way. She pushes\nmore than one person in the process but it doesn’t bother her in the\nleast. To each person, she gives her most beautiful smile which\ndisarms more than one. Until she meets a wide eyed strong and drunk\nman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Dana places her right hand on the counter, her left arm is held back. She peeks out to see what’s going on. She immediately realizes that she is in trouble. She is in a panic. As she speaks to the bartender, the latter orders the man to let go of her immediately. He’s a regular. He does so without flinching. He leaves the place.

Dana is freaked out when she returns to her hotel in the middle of the night. She hums \u00ab la fille aux yeux menthe \u00e0 l\u2019eau \u00bb \u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
