A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The rain had started before the shutters went up on Coldharbour Market, and by six Mrs Okafor's stall was already dripping at the corners. Dilys stacked the wicker baskets two high and tried not to look at the queue forming under the awning. It was the third Tuesday of the month, which meant the man from the flat above the chemist would come back for the one thing she had never learned to make properly.

She had been trying for a year. The dough had to be laminated cold, folded and rested and folded again, butter sheeted thin as a playing card, and every time she pulled a tray from the oven the shapes came out flat and sulky, like something sat on. Her grandmother's rule was that a croissant told you when it was ready by how it sang on the rack, a faint crackle as the layers set. Dilys had never heard it sing. She had only heard the rain.

At seven the man came, shaking water from a grey coat, and asked for his usual without speaking. She had a single curved pastry left under the cloth, the one she had not dared to sell. She passed it across on a square of paper.

He turned it over, pressed one tapered end with his thumb, and smiled at the fold of it. "Still sulking," he said. "Sell it me anyway."

She took his coins and watched him walk off into the rain, the paper held carefully against his chest, and for the first time that winter she thought the next batch might sing.
