The gentle plink of the piano keys filled the living room as Clara played a Bach prelude. The music flowed through her, a balm to her soul. She felt light, untethered, floating on a sea of sound.

A loud thud outside jolted her from her concentration. The tow truck was leaving, her car in tow. She stopped playing, her fingers hovering over the keys. She blinked, then smiled, resuming the melody. It was a good day to get a ride with a friend.
