Owen listened with obvious interest to the mini family history lesson he was getting from her. Admittedly, he knew very little about his mother’s side of the family either. She had left behind the town and everything in it and refused to speak of it as if it were some dark secret little children shouldn’t know. Farmers and healers didn’t sound so bad.
“My mom still has some family in Ireland, I’ve heard. But I’ve never met any of them.” He admitted. “Actually the only family member I do know is my mom. She raised me by herself. I saw my dad a few times but I didn’t really know him. He just paid for things.” Owen shrugged as if to say ‘oh well.’
Owen interpreted her movement across the piano bench as an invitation to sit down. So he did. The bench was small so his sitting down put them shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip. When she played a scale, he picked up another to harmonize with it two octaves below the notes she played.
“I disagree.” His fingers danced back towards the middle as if chasing hers away for a demonstration of delicate piano playing. It was a contemporary piece he figured that she had likely never heard. One he picked up from a movie soundtrack. He feathered the keys with his fingers playing a tune that evoked a kind of sentimentality and nostalgia. “This one was written last year for a sappy movie. I could print off some sheet music for you if you like it. Or some other songs maybe.”
