Chapter 22
Dear Diary,
As I was about to start writing this entry I heard Willa start to play her cello on the balcony. I just sat at the open window and listened while she played, a beautiful haunting solo which almost made me cry. She is so beautiful when she plays, she seems to relax and her movements become more natural. Her facial expressions are different too, not happy but seemingly lost in thought and concentration.
When she stopped I took a risk and hugged her from behind while she was sat down. She didn’t even flinch and I swear she let out a satisfied sigh as I did so. I sat near her on the balcony as she continued to play, just happy to be near her and study her - she is so beautiful I think I’ve run out of words to describe her.
I asked her if she’d ever been in a band which she hadn’t so I suggested (without ever thinking she would agree) that she join one. Being social isn’t her thing but it would only help with her people skills.
