“Let’s try this one,” Luke said, sitting
down at the piano and only then letting go of Janet’s hand.
He had forced her to sit beside him on the
bench much to her dismay. Were they really going to sing here at the party in front of
everyone, before they were even ready? Janet looked up at Alana who grinned at
her and gave her the thumbs up. She must know exactly what was going through
Janet’s head.
Peter leaned on the piano staring at Luke’s
fingers as they played around the keys and nodded when he recognized the song.
“One of my mom’s favorites. Clapton. Sounds better on the guitar, of course, but
this will do for now.”
“Do you know this, Janet?” Luke said and he
started singing the slow ballad.
♪ ♫…It’s late in the evening; she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her makeup and brushes her long, long hair…♩ ♬
“Blonde…it’s long blonde hair,” Alana
interjected.
Luke grinned and shook his head. “Not when
I sing it for you, babe,” he said and returned to singing while Alana blushed
scarlet.
