Sophia couldn't help but laugh. She had never imagined she would see Capone singing "Drop the Handkerchief." His voice was deep and gruff, yet he still tried to keep a serious face, looking anything but cute, and he was off-key.
"I've never sung before, is it really that funny? I just heard others sing it!" Capone's face had a suspicious red hue as he awkwardly explained.
Sophia thought about his unique childhood and, though she had originally planned to remain aloof, her resolve softened.
She quickly became defensive, pulling the thin blanket over her head to signal that she was tired and wanted to sleep.
Capone felt a bit disappointed but was soon replaced by joy.
At least she was willing to "talk" to him now, no longer avoiding or ignoring him.
