The concert hall was a symphony of sounds, but all Miles could hear was a hollow echo. He was supposed to be enjoying the show, a performance by his favorite band. However, the announcement that Olivia, his music partner, was moving, had ruined any chance for happiness.

He leaned back in his chair, the music a beautiful, agonizing reminder of what he was losing.
