The dingy pub was the last place Amelia expected to hear her music. The band, a local group she'd never heard of, was tearing into her ballad, "Fallen Leaves." The singer, a woman with fiery red hair and a voice like molten gold, was pouring every ounce of emotion into the performance.

A tingling sensation raced up her spine. Her fingers tapped a rhythm on the table. She felt a powerful urge to clap, to cheer, to be a part of the moment. The weariness she'd been carrying around for months dissolved. She leaned forward, completely absorbed.

She bought the band a round of drinks afterward, and when she got home, she pulled out her guitar. The dust on it felt unfamiliar.
