Sitting behind the door, I clung to Ethan's neck and kissed him absentmindedly.
How should I play Chloe to death?
Disguise it as a car accident... slash her throat... or drown her?
"You're brushing me off."
Ethan dissatisfiedly nipped at my lip and ground his teeth.
I pushed him away in pain and coldly pulled back my clothes.
"From now on, don't casually interfere in my business."
"Just helping you swat away an annoying fly, your business is my business."
Under his resentful gaze, I paced to the familiar Steinway Fibonacci piano.
Taking a seat, raising my hands, the passionate melody soared once more.
After my talent was taken in my previous life, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't play a complete note.
This was the piano I loved above all else!
The feeling of having it back now was truly... incomparable!
I suppressed the surging joy in my chest, followed by an even more intense hatred.
After a piece was finished, Ethan tenderly bowed his head and kissed my fingertips.
His eyes were full of admiration and infatuation.
"Don't come looking for me recently, I'm going to the orchestra, very busy."
"Harper, what's more important, the piano or me?"
"...What do you think?"
I seriously withdrew my hand and, following the melody in my mind, played another piece.
The sound of the piano echoed melodiously in the room, and in a good mood, I practiced continuously for three hours before stopping.
Tomorrow was the first day reporting to the orchestra.
This time, I would surpass my former peak.
