Poppy sat beside the stereo, flipping through her CDs, frowning.
Everything she played sounded disjointed, stopping and starting.
When she mentioned it to James he had looked at her like she was nuts.
"Yeah, everything digital sounds like that"
Poppy had given him a blank look in return.
"It's not supposed to, the music should play smoothly."
"Not to vampire ears. We can hear the pauses. He stopped when he saw how upset she looked. "Aw, Poppy, you can always listen to records. They sound alright." He hugged her.
Buried in his shoulder Poppy didn't mention that you probably couldn't get the Netherland Skippy dance on vinyl.
