CHAPTER 6

Leena

After a frustrating afternoon spent trying to belong in a world she no longer felt was her own, Leena was about to head back to the apartment that apparently was hers. She’d walked through the small kitchen, bedroom, living room and bathroom. Her things were there. They were feminine, the rooms clearly that of a female occupant, but other than that, they were impersonal to her.

Her mind felt like a fog, a series of closed doors that refused to open. It was as frustrating as it was painful. Her head felt like it was going to explode.

Though images of her bed, neatly made up, beckoned to her, she didn’t want to leave things the way they were with Dallas. It had bothered her all afternoon, their fight. She felt like she’d gone in swinging, though it had been the last thing she intended. He’d attacked first and even if she’d been on the defensive, what she’d done wasn’t right. She’d sworn at him. It was hardly a good first meeting.

She’d asked him why he didn’t come, but she knew, from somewhere deep inside of herself, that Dallas didn’t leave the auditorium because music chained him there. The walls around him, his rooms, the building itself, was safe. The outside world, she could tell by the fear she’d seen in his eyes, was not. What fears or even illness did Dallas hide under that handsome surface? Did she once know all about it? Had he ever let her into his private world, the world he kept locked inside himself?

Her stomach churned and her chest threatened to cave in on itself, a good indication that the answer was yes. The tenderness she’d felt when she first heard his name hadn’t gone away. If anything, it had only grown stronger.

Though Leena sensed she should probably just leave well enough alone, she walked across the hallway, out of her small quarters. She pushed open the door of the studio. Just like before the room was dark, the lights off and the shades pulled down. As her eyes adjusted, she truly looked around, surprised at how much she’d missed earlier. She made out the shape of three different pianos, an organ, several guitars, cases with other instruments, violins or something, and at the back of the room, a drum set. Can Dallas play all of those?

She’d been to the recording room, on the main floor. Did he ever set down his music on anything other than paper?

There were pages everywhere, stacks and stacks of pages. Along the open piano lips, on benches, tables, scattered around the floor. Of course, there were balled up pages as well. She resisted the urge to pick them up and smooth them out, as Dallas said she once had.

Why can’t I remember? That day was likely the start of our partnership, the start of whatever Dallas and I are, and I can’t bring back a thing.

She swallowed back her frustration and stared at the door on the other side of the room.
