“The soft melody of “Hallelujah” still played through my mind. As they had every morning, the chirping of birds and a warm sun greeted me through my opened windows. Tucking the blanket up to my ears, I buried my cheek deeper into the soft pillow and reveled in the previous evening. I lost count of how many times Julian had played my special song, or how many others he’d coaxed from the ivory keys on the piano. He must have played for hours. Just because I had asked him to. Sometime after eleven,... we’d finally ascended to our rooms and he’d bid me goodnight with a nudge of his knuckles to my chin. Even though the story remained unclear, I knew Julian had entered my dreams again last night. A sigh lifted my chest. I rolled on my back and put my arms behind my head. Soft light danced on the ceiling, reflecting off the opened window above my bed. Julian’s confessing words to my mother filled me with joy. Of course, his foremost duty was to her, his charge, but he’d named me a close second.MoreLessRead More Read Less
