huddled in so close to the frame of the door, as to not interrupt the pianist, eyes gleaming with such excitement and curiousity, the boys emotions were flowing all throughout him. awe strucking his lithe frame.

the man with the dark framed glasses, eyes full of concentration, and uncontrollable passion running through his veins, wasn't oblivious to the attention he was receiving from the boy.

his hands seemed to make love to the piano, the boy thought. such a nimble act it was. Bony, but elegant fingers carefully prodded at each key in such a sophisticated manner. the mini gift his ears were receiving rendered flawless. the boy had never been one to take much interest in the arts, but once in a while he would come upon something that intrigued him in that area.
