The great drawing room is still, held captive by the sorrowful strains of a sonata spilling from the pianoforte. Francesca sits with perfect posture, her fingers moving over the keys with a lifetime’s discipline, wholly absorbed. Then, without warning, the music ceases. The sudden silence is absolute. She goes perfectly still, her hands hovering above the ivory before she slowly lifts her head. Her eyes find you’s across the room, and in that held breath, an entire unspoken question hangs between them.
