We can do that! Let's do that. Byerly is in good with most of the local theaters—he plays sometimes when they're missing a violinist—and some of them have pianos. He can get us in when it's empty, and if you only want to be left alone to play around with it without anyone to listening to you, I will make him go outside with me and we will not eavesdrop at all.
Yeah? (She's getting infected by his excitement, smiling now.) Um, okay. You guys don't have to leave if you don't want to but it's not like I know how to play anything, so...
(It will be boring. But maybe she could learn how to play, and then somehow figure out how to play some of the pieces she misses from home. Abby likes the sound of that.)
