A furious pounding on the door shattered the serenity. It was Ms. Chen, her cheeks flushed. "The drums! They were pounding all night! What is wrong with you?" I took a breath, letting it out slowly. "I am so sorry, Ms. Chen. I was caught up in the rhythm. It won’t happen again." I gave a little shrug. "Want a slice of my banana bread? It's fresh from the oven."
