"But..."
"Sonya, I'll share everything with you. This is nothing."
Sonya looked at his sincerity; her heart was full, not because of his offer, but his seriousness and respect for her
as his life partner.
At home, Henry helped her
helped her organize her things,
her things, asking her to shower.
Sonya heard piano music and found Henry playing in a room at the end of the hallway. He'd played for her at
their wedding.
The melody was calm and warm. She sat beside him; he was immersed in his playing, eyes gentle.
The music ended; he took her hand.
"What's that song called?" she asked.
Henry shook his head, smiling. "Forgot. | just played it."
"Your dad said your violin playing was terrible, but your piano playing is good."
"| realized | didn't have a talent for violin. | switched to piano."

The piano had many cartoon stickers; it didn't seem like his.
"It belongs to John Smith's sister. Remember John Smith?"
Sonya nodded; Henry had three close friends during his runaway year: Simon, Jay, and John Smith, who died in a
robbery.

and loved playing. After their parents died, their savings were scammed by relatives; John Smith had to drop out
to support his sister. She wanted a piano, so we four
worked hard, saving enough for a second-hand piano on her birthday."
Henry smiled, remembering those difficult but happy times with his friends.
"His sister?" Sonya remembered the short-haired girl who delivered dumplings, with a fiery
temper.
"Yes. She..." Henry frowned, trying to recall her name." forgot her name. She was always at school; we weren't
close."
Henry pulled Sonya onto his lap, running his fingers through her hair. He kissed her fiercely.
Their passion was interrupted by Henry's phone. He ignored it, but it kept ringing. He held Sonya close, then
answered. It was urgent work.
Henry hung
up,
kissing Sonya again, then taking
her to the bathroom.

Sonya punched his shoulder. "No."
Henry smiled. "It's a gift. Please accept it."
Sonya blushed, laughing, and let him bathe her.
He put her to bed.
"I'll pack a bag and leave."
"I'll see you out."
"It's cold outside."
"I'll still see you out."
