Summary
They say he went to the crossroads and got down on his knees and handed up his guitar to the Devil. They say the Devil appeared and tuned the guitar himself, and before he gave the guitar back, the Devil said,
“Once you receive the guitar, your soul is mine. Do you still want it?”
“And Johnson took the guitar and left the crossroads. Few nights later, he shows up at a blues joint in Greenwood, Mississippi, and he starts playing like no one had ever heard before. That’s how he sold his soul to the Devil.”
Booker takes a long drink from the bottle, fingers tightly clasped around its neck.
"But the thing is Booker,” Nile continues, “If you make a deal with the Devil, you gotta pay the price."

Summary
The dreams continue. Booker on a boat with a woman, Booker in a cab resting his head against the same woman’s red-clad shoulder, always her face slightly obscured. Booker talking to a different woman, Booker holding heaping plates of beignets, Booker in- wait, is that New Orleans?
(WTF, Nile thinks when she wakes up. Andy won’t let her anywhere near North America, but Booker gets to eat doughnuts in a New Orleans riverfront cafe seemingly without a care in the world? Not cool bro.)

Summary
She doesn’t stay in France. It’s too close to England, too close to the oppressive weight of Cromwell’s tyranny pressing on her lungs, too close to the memories of Andromache-
Honestly, the first one might be the worst.
