“Company and solitude are both parts of life,” Darren remarked softly.
Elyse nodded again, and they continued walking. They had planned to visit the mall for souvenirs.
On their way, they saw someone playing the piano on the street. The pianist looked familiar, prompting Elyse to
tug on Darren’s arm to move closer.
As it turned out, the pianist was David.
“What's the matter? Do you know him?” Darren whispered, noticing Elyse’s surprised expression.
“Yes, he’s an acquaintance.” Elyse nodded. “Would you mind if | borrowed your violin?” she asked.

Darren understood her intent and handed her the violin without hesitation.
With the violin in hand, Elyse approached David. She patiently counted the beats before seamlessly merging her
violin’s melody with his piano notes.
David, initially startled by the sudden accompaniment, looked up in surprise. His gaze landed on Elyse’s smiling
face, and a flicker of recognition passed through his eyes. He smiled and continued playing.
Together, they crafted a harmony that soared beautifully, captivating the gathering crowd with their rich,
enchanting music.
As the music filled the air, Darren felt an irresistible urge to join in. He took out his newly purchased violin and
began to play. A bystander recognized Elyse and Darren and requested a few more pieces. They turned to David.
“An intriguing chorus indeed,” David remarked.
“I would be honored to perform a few more numbers. Perhaps a Gavotte?”

As the last notes faded and the tbegan to pack their instruments, the crowd thinned out, but Rebecca
remained.
“A truly magnificent performance!” she exclaimed with a bright smile.

hurriedly grasped Darren’s wrist and pulled him forward.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, her eyes widening.
“I'm just picking up a few souvenirs as I'm leaving the country soon,” Rebecca responded casually. She noticed
Elyse’s and Darren’s tense expressions and laughed softly.
“You both look terrified. Am | that intimidating?”
