Chapter 1
The notebook was thrown on the table, unceremoniously.
The pen on the edge of falling.
" 'Glenn Miller- Long Ago & Far Away
Benny Goodman- (ask ....someone.)
"It's Been A Long Time" (nighttime, dancing??)' "
Natasha sat in an armchair, looking at the floor. She had filled at least 5 of them. Not any closer to understanding it.
Sounds, feelings, words whispered on some dark room, or touches that tingled her spine.
This one was for music. They came into her mind without explanation, or warning, just like the others.
Her search history was more like Steve's albums than anything.
She even borrowed one, which earned her a very strange look from him.
"Glenn Miller- "
....Even stranger was the pitiful look that came with it. Like he had to hide it.
Like everyone was having to.
She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, Liho hopping on her lap. ".....Fuck."
She meowed softly, Nat looking down on her. She got up slowly, setting her down.
She moved to the turntable. Standing as she paused, holding the record.
Billie Holiday- "Lady Sings The Blues".
Tumblers were clicking again. Important, her mind was saying. This is important.
She frowned slightly at the confusion. "....Let's find out why."
She clenched her jaw slightly as she took out the record and put it on.
