- So, do you play any instrument ?

- My grand mother insisted that I play the piano, so I started when I was 10 or something.

- Do you like it ?

- Well, I'm not verry good. She admitted. So I stopped after 2 years.

- I asked if you liked it not if you were any good.

- Well, I like hearing it but not when I'm playing because I just suck at it.

- You seems to have a self estime problem. He remarked.

He parked his car in from of a of a music hall, took a key from his pocket and opened the back door.

- Follow me

He used his phone to created light to guide them, they went trought a long corridor , walk up a few step and ended up on the stage in the middle of the room. Alex went behind the curtain and turned on the light.It was empty, raw of chairs and a piano behind them.

- I actually brough you here to teach you how to play the piano, but that can of blew out in my face.

Seen his embarrased face, she laughed.

- I didn't know you played.

- My mother used to play and she started to teach me, after, I just carried on.

He took two chair from the stage and brought them near the instument. They both sat.

-So what kind of music do you like ?

She thought for a few second, what did she like ?

- I don't really know, I only played classical because you know, princess and stuff.

He chook his head a bit, massaged his finger, and concentrated.

- So, classical ?

And as his fingers touch the notes, She felt like flying again. He knew how to play, for sure and he was good. She started guessing.

- Easy, Fur Elise by Beethoveen

As soon has she said that, the melody change, the tempo more rapide. His fingers jumped from one note to the other, giving it a more playfull sound.

- I'm guessing Offenbach.

- You guest right, it Ah que j'aime les militaire.

Now the music was slower, tender, ennivring.

- Nut Cracker

- Whoa you're good. He said amazed.
