The familiar rhythm of piano practice usually filled the evening, but tonight, something was different. From the living room, the flowing sounds of Polish. Her body felt a strange warmth.

She crept closer, her curiosity piqued. There was Amelia, hunched over the piano, and singing in Polish. She wasn't simply practicing the piano; she was singing. Her voice, usually so shy, rang out with confidence and the rich, expressive quality of the language.

Her eyes stung. This wasn't just learning. It was a gift. It was a tangible proof of something.

Amelia stopped and looked up, surprised to see her there.

“Przepraszam,” she said, her voice breathy, her cheeks flushed.

She just shook her head, feeling overwhelmed. The only thing she could do was give her a hug.
