While they were on the phone, the song "Meet me at the lookout point" by Devendra Banhart was playing in the back.
-We should meet in the middle
-Of the Lake?
-Yes
-Should we swim?
-Yes, why not? Meet me at noon.
It was noon and they swam to the middle of the lake.
The tango song "Como dos extraños" was playing in the back. The first reason for this was that a tango song will likely play in the back when there is an Argentinian involved in an encounter. The second reason for this was that he insisted that she had been absent for so long that maybe he had forgotten what she looked like, and other details about her. Also, the lyrics of this song fitted the scene.
The water was cold, because it was the middle of the winter, but they were both smart enough to wear neoprene suits and gloves.
She had a hard time recognizing him in this circumstance, for she had only seen him wearing a suit and looking serious in the corner of the room. He told her she looked stupid, and laughed at her. But she was starting to understand that he needed to tell her all these things.
-We should get out of the lake and walk around rive droite, because rive gauche is too bourgeois- he said.
She gave him a flirtatious look.
-You are a flirtatious freak- he said, serious.
The song playing now was "You've been flirting again" by Bjork. For obvious reasons.
-I cannot help it - she fought back. She did not like having to explain herself all the time.
Many tourists were walking along the lake like them, and a storm was building up quickly.
-I never said I was deep - she told him - but I am profoundly shallow - she added.
It started to rain.
Everyone ran for cover except for them. The song "Heavy Weather" by Jarvis Cocker was now playing. They both burst into song. No one payed any attention, because it was Geneva, after all, and it was raining.
