She had never been fond of playing inside a music room because it felt a little too formal for mere practice and she would much rather let her music flown freely wherever it desired to.

From there he could see the view of the city at night with the light from the

Grigory had no idea what could he possibly want with him but he opened up the door and Alexander immediately apologized for the early disturbance.“What is it that you want from me at this hour?” Initially he thought the reasoning was going to be petty but when he re-examined the look on his face, he figured out that it had to be something serious.
