Lindsey stays looking at Osmond a second and he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Buckingham?" Osmond says his name to get his attention again.

"Uh, sorry." He shakes his head a little to clear his vision. "Call me Lindsey." He corrects him.

"Sorry- is Ameera here?" Osmond asks again.

"Oh, no she and Stevie went shopping." Osmond nods to Lindsey's information.

"Okay, I'll come back later if that's okay?"

"Yeah, fine." Lindsey says and Osmond begins to walk off. "Wait." Lindsey stops him.

"Yes?" He turns around.

"Why don't you come in?" Lindsey sort of hesitates but says it anyway.

"No, I don't wanna bother you or anything."

"Nonsense, come in." Lindsey says. Lindsey was unsure of this decision but he just let him in. It felt right. He steps aside and lets Osmond in.

"Thank you." Osmond stands.

"No problem."

"Oh, I wanted to apologize for Ameera coming in, so late." Osmond pauses. "The movie we chose was really long and it ended at one-thirty." He says his facts and hopes Lindsey wouldn't be mad.

"It's alright." Lindsey chuckles then puts his hands in his pockets. "We can go down to the studio, I was just working on some new tunes." Lindsey walks through the living room and heads to the studio and Osmond follows behind him. When they get downstairs Osmond is struck by the beautiful antique piano.

"This is very beautiful." He was looking at the detail.

"Thank you. It's actually Stevie's- she plays when she writes." Lindsey sort of shrugs.

"May I?" Osmond refers to playing it.

"You know how?" Lindsey asks.

"Sort of." Osmond responds and shrugs a little, "I took lessons as a small child." He confirms.

"Oh, go for it." Lindsey picks up a pen as he sits down in his chair. He was getting ready to start messing with his own song lyrics. Osmond starts to play and Lindsey looks up- watching him go. The sound of his song was amazing; serenity and rock was a good way to put it. "Wow, you're really good." Lindsey says to him.

"Really? Thanks." Osmond kind of chuckles.

"Yeah. I mean that was- it was great!" Lindsey didn't have many words he just knew he liked the way he played.

"Thank you." Osmond says again.

"Hey? Do you think you can help me with this?" Lindsey hands him the lyrics to "Landlside". He didn't really need help but it happened to be on the table.

"Sing?" Osmond gets scared by that.

"No, no." Lindsey chuckles. "The music. If I play do you think you could follow?" Lindsey looks at him as he picks up his guitar. Lindsey thought, that if he could play to "Landslide" then he could help him play other things.

Osmond kind of shrugs so Lindsey just begins to play. As he pluck the guitar Osmond is also struck by the way Lindsey plays without a pick. "Can you do that?" Lindsey stops and looks up at him.

"Sure. Seems easy enough." Osmond turns toward the keys and begins to play, and sure enough he was able to do so. Lindsey starts plucking to his keys and they have a gorgeous version of "Landslide".

When the girls are in the big department store, they were looking at shoes and shawls and all kinds of ethereal looking stuff. Ameera gets to thinking and she wanted to get somethig for Osmond.
