Dear Lily,

Mom left for Scotland today. She said she needed a break from trauma and aspired to breathe fresh air. This also meant that she wouldn't be there to cheer for you when you will be playing your Paganini piece. Neither is Leon because he is supposed to turn in a completed thesis, which he purposely avoided for the whole month. It is quite sad, Lily. You wish if your friends were present because they were your everything. But they never found your violin interesting. 

For a flimsy second, you wished if Jake were present too. But no, you regretted the thought the next second. He wasn't the Jake you knew, Lily. He was different from the one you knew, the one who laughed with you, the one would never hurt a kitten. 

Well, it doesn't matter Lily, you have already moved on. And it doesn't matter if nobody is there to listen to you. Because you are playing for an audience, not for your emotional instability. And I am sure, you are going to do great.

Goodnight Lily. Don't forget to practice for another hour.

Yours Lovingly

Lilianna Jones.
