Another’s presence interfered with her daydreaming. As a beam of sunlight washed over her face, Alexey allowed her lips to spread into a smile. There was no doubt as to who it was; never had she encountered anyone but Mew near the hidden valley. It was their little sanctuary; a place where music reigned and problems were safely discarded. Piano lessons weren’t always easy to attend, seeing as she had two boys to take care of, but she had yet to miss an appointment. Time with Mew was sacred and unless there was an emergency of some sort, Alexey made sure never to skip a single lesson.
Music sheets were scattered on the grass around her. She’d gotten most from Lubomir’s library, although he hadn’t been around at the time. The Caregiver did not think he’d care if she borrowed a few things, but made a mental note to tell him whenever she saw him next. Perhaps his mate could relay the message, too. Amongst the pile of papers was Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major, a piece she was particularly interested in learning. She hadn’t heard it yet but according to the notations, it appeared to be an easy-going melody. “Mew!” she exclaimed excitedly, anticipating the upcoming lesson.
She was about to gesture to the partitions when something else caught her friend’s attention. Alexey frowned; temporarily oblivious as to what could have puzzled Mew so much, but then her eyes located the orange-hued creature at her side. She’d grown so accustomed to its presence that she simply did not notice it anymore. “That’s your nephew’s pet,” she explained briefly, hoping to justify the smaller canine’s presence. “The boys weren’t around and I couldn’t leave it at home.” Well, she could have, but Conor wouldn’t have approved. She would, however, keep it securely tied to a tree for the duration of their lesson.
