She stood in the doorway and watched him.
He was lost in the moment. He was lost to music, he was lost to the creation of sound. His fingers moved seemingly effortlessly over the strings.
The way he created beauty with sound had always astonished her. To call him an artist seemed a little underhanded, as he seemed so much more than that, so she had thought of him as some sort of magician. Though, she never said that to him. He'd surely scowl at her, dismissively. But, there was something almost otherworldly about the way he could create sounds that could so course through her body, and spoke to something deeper within her.
It's perhaps a new piece, as she doesn't recognise it, and there is that brow of his. There is a small furrowing of his brow that gives away that he isn't completely pleased with its sound. Though, you'd never know by looking at his hands, that seem to glide and move over the instrument, like they were one and the same. His hands. Those fingers. He broke for a moment and stared out the window, before he realised he wasn't alone. He slowly turned to look at her, as she was standing in the doorway. She is framed in white, at the edge of the softening darkness of his music room.
Is he glad of the distraction? She can't be sure, but he said to her, with a neutral look, "Come," and indicated the floor by his feet.
A smile teased the edge of her mouth. She always loved when he beckoned her. She settled by his feet, and immediately he began to play again. To her it is perfect. But she has not his ear, nor his sense of musical perfection. But what she does have is knowledge. A knowledge of him. She knows his brow oh-so well. She can tell that something is amiss.
He turned to stare out the window again, and he moved the guitar slightly away, so he could reach into her hair. His strokes were soft, as his fingers plied her hair, and he left light touches against her curve of her head and up the nape of her neck.
She almost purred, but something in his demeanour, and the feeling of the room, made her resist and so she held back her sound. She didn't want to fill the space between them with any other sound. She didn't want to break the entranced state he was in.
