They had already been lucky to catch a few songs.

Sterling pinched Claudia’s earlobe lightly. “Who said he was the one playing?”

Claudia blinked in surprise. “Wait, you can play the cello?”

Claudia tightened her shawl and leaned against the railing, watching as Sterling walked over to the cellist. The two exchanged a few quiet words, and Sterling pointed in her direction.

The man’s face first showed shock, then turned into an amused grin before he nodded and left with everything except his cello.

Isabella was the one who taught him to play the cello.

When she was well enough, she would teach her son to play the instrument she had loved so much.

After her passing, the cello became something untouchable in their family home–Quinton had forbidden anyone from playing it again.

As the sun broke through the clouds, warm gold light spilled across the sea. The sky glowed with soft pinks, oranges, and golds.
