My father turns to me. “I love you more than anything, habibti. Have you been here with me all night?”

“Yes, Daddy,” I say.

“Why do you look so serious?” he asks. “Smile a little. Take the hair out of your face. You are still a child. Do you know that I was thrown into the sea off the coast of Italy because I had no papers? My daughter should be happy. Go sit at the piano and play.”

“We’re in a hospital, Dad,” I say.

“You know, I used to listen to you play. I would sneak in from the garage and listen to you. You didn’t know it. Even when you made a mistake, I would smile. You don’t know how beautiful you were.”
