The piano was such a beautiful piece of equipment. When played right, the music that can come out of the thing was beyond compare to anything in the world. Chance watched Hales as she decided what to play. He moved over just a tad so that she could reach the keys that she needed to.

Then she began to play.

Chance immediately began to enjoy the music. She was very talented. And to play so well over one summer! It was almost ... Magical. Chance closed his eyes and swayed a little bit to the music. It was almost like he was tranced by the music. It last a few minutes that way before Hales started answering his question.

He knew she hadn't wanted to talk about it, but now, here she was, spilling something that seemed to be causing her a great deal or confusion and pain. He got the gist of it. She did something stupid and one person knew about it but another didn't. So she had to be avoiding this guy because Hales didn't lie. And he knew that had to be hard because of how close they were. He'd seen them. Their bond. Heck, he had been punched in the face.

"So what did you do that was so terrible?" Chance asked watching her hands rather than her face. "I can't possibly think of anything too bad. No offense, but you're the nicest sweetest most level headed person I know." He was curious. Super curious.!
