"..." Charlotte Green's body tensed, wanting to turn her face away, but he held it in place.
"Or, are you going to give up the piano, your favorite?"
Yes, her favorite. Apart from the piano, she had nothing else to be proud of.
"What do you want me to do?" she asked quietly, her voice like a mosquito's. His eyes, like blades of ice, looked even more terrifying up close.
Kevin Cliff released her, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and said, "You can start now."
Charlotte was taken aback, not understanding at first what he wanted her to start.
After waiting and waiting, Kevin's eyes opened, and seeing the girl before him, lost and flustered, he curled his lips coldly and said, "Don't you understand?"
Charlotte shook her head slightly, and suddenly, Kevin Cliff pulled her towards him.
"I'll only teach you once; after that, you do it yourself."
And then, in the dark night, in the quiet room, breaths became erratic.
