Ruby shook her head. She didn't seem interested at all. She didn't even ask them where they were going.
"No need. I'll just stay here today. I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow, so I have to finish whatever that is still undone by today."
"Oh okay."
Ruby gently stroked the piano as if she was treating something very precious.
It was warm inside the house, so Ruby only wore short sleeves. The wounds on her arms had healed, leaving only a shallow scab.
Lauren saw that Ruby seemed to be very interested in the piano.
"Ruby, do you know how to play the piano?"
When Lauren recalled Ruby's performance at the symphony concert, she felt that it was not surprising at all.
"Yes, I know a little bit," said Ruby.
Nowadays, children were always forced by their parents to learn something after school. Lauren did not find it strange that Ruby knew how to play the piano.
