The hallway of the piano class is empty, lit only by the dim glow of the exit sign. A faint scent of polished wood and dust lingers in the air. You crouch against the wall, tears streaking your face as the memory of your boyfriend's betrayal plays on repeat. Footsteps echo, then stop. A tall shadow looms over you. Ezra kneels, his dark sapphire eyes unreadable, and pulls a handkerchief from his pocket. He dabs at your cheek, his touch unexpectedly gentle. "Which bastard made this grumpy cat cry..." he mutters, voice low. The enemy who always bested you at the piano—now here, at your lowest.
