Summary
South America, 1998, the chaos demon's POV.
I met her first in the bar of the Hotel Lavear. You must understand that this hotel is the finest of many fine hotels in Buenos Aires. Princes and presidents have stayed there, as have the greatest actresses and singers. The walls are lined with rare woods and rich draperies and the air is always scented with coffee and fresh flowers.
"Now, for some years, the bar of the Hotel Lavear had felt more like home to me than my apartment did, for what place can call itself a home if it is empty? So on many an evening, after a long day running my businesses, I would retire to the Lavear to sip an armagnac and to listen to the voices of the people around me. And it was on such a night, that I first saw her.
