[ WP ] [ CW ] Make me fall in love with a character in 200 words or less .

In that dark chapel I banged out crude tunes on that weathered piano, feeling alone but satisfied. 
 
 She sneaked in, sitting next to me in her sundress, smiling wide. 
 
 `` I play too,'' she said. `` You're pretty good. Can you play me a song?'' 
 
 I played the saddest tune I knew, and she grinned all the while, enjoying each note. Even the ones I screwed up. Then I moved aside, and she played the most beautiful, complex music I'd ever known, making that old piano sing as if it were in its youth. She stopped, and I was at a loss for words. She'd blown me away. 
 
 There, in the moonlight, this girl I hardly knew bared her soul, and it was beautiful. I smiled at her. 
 
 We played together the rest of the night, trading songs and techniques. She was classical and I was improvisational. We knew we could learn worlds from eachother. 
 
 The sun rose, light flooding through the stain glass windows. We'd lost track of time, knowing somehow we'd found something special. 
 
 Nine years later, we still know. It was never a question.
