I close my eyes, listening to the notes play from the piano. The song isn’t overly cheerful or bright, but it also isn’t dark. It’s a nice, steady song that plays beautifully. I think it perfectly captures his essence and I find myself swaying my head a little as I listen silently. 

The final note plays out and I open my eyes, thinking on what Caden said. [color=#9B111E]“Well, so many great composers came out of Germany, so I should have some talent hidden away, right?”[/color] I say with a sly smile before I put Luci down on the couch and make my way onto the piano bench next to Caden. I don’t notice the little dirt footprints I leave in my wake.

[color=#9B111E]“Can you teach me piano?”[/color] I ask, playing a note before peering up at Caden.

I grin lopsidedly, dimples showing when she calls me smart. [color=F7941D]“See? I [i]am[/i] smart.”[/color] I tease, kissing her head as we make our way back to the SUV. As I put the signs in the back, I pull out a couple of towels. I hand one to Cass before I kneel on the ground on one leg and start patting her pants.

[color=F7941D]“See, on my knees for you and everything now.”[/color] I say, throwing a wink up at her before concentrating on getting the moisture out of her clothes.
