The Song

Samuel sits alone in the study area. he taps his fingers along the table, tap tap tap. a rhythmic dance along an invisible piano. Ollie runs in circles in the kids area hitting his invisible drum, a rum pa tum tum.
Two older ladies mutter, some pigeons stuck in the roof flutter and a broad man's shouts from the foyer make me turn my head.
A toilet flushes. a baby cries. Some books are dropped into the chute.
And then... all is quiet.
Until...
Samuel raises his hands above the table, flashes me a smile and begins to play.
