“Miss Lincoln?” said Frank.

“I will show you,” said Gaston. “You will squeeze and depress the key.”

“I will not squeeze or depress the key,” said Eugenia.

“Ho, ho, ho,” laughed Gaston. “You will press the key and learn to play the music of your heart. That is all. That is everything.” He bent toward her. He put his hands over her hands.

The man smelled like lilacs and musty curtains and butter.

Eugenia felt another wave of dizziness roll over her.

Gaston’s fingers pushed her fingers down upon the keys. A small, heartbroken sound came out of the accordion. Eugenia could feel it reverberating somewhere deep inside of her.

Her heart quivered.

“You see?” said Gaston.

The kitchen became darker. Had a light gone out?

Eugenia was trembling. “I do not see,” she said to Gaston.

There was a rumble of thunder from somewhere far away.

“I think it might storm,” said Mr. Watson.

The kitchen became darker still.

“Let us try again,” said Gaston. He wrapped his arms around Eugenia and pushed down on her fingers gently, and the song exited the accordion and entered the room.

Eugenia felt as if someone had poked her with something hot and sharp, right in the heart.
