 Claudine Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ashley Fox had been so, so busy recently- between working on a new book, having the Accident, hosting so many art shows, and getting engaged, she had not had much time to properly socialize. Unfortunately, that meant that she hadn't seen her good friend Claudine in quite a long time.
Determined to get back into her habit of making plans with people, Ashley had invited Claudine to have lunch with her at the Leaky Cauldron. She didn't want to order before her friend had even arrived, so instead she made a beeline for the piano. Her first stepmother had been a professional pianist, and she'd taught Ash to love the instrument in the short time they'd know each other. After, Ashley had taken lessons.
She set her bag down next to the piano as she sat down to play her favorite song. Perhaps she would sing along too, provided that nobody would mind-
Soon, Ashley had lost herself in the music. There was something about this particular tune that always broke her heart and fixed it simultaneously- that and her bright, clear voice would be easy for Claudine to recognize. |
