2 Months After the Funeral

Parker arrived home from school to find Martha at the piano, like always.

Martha: You ready to practice Parker?

Parker: About that…I was thinking more along the lines of inviting Max over.

Martha: Parker, we talked about this…piano first, then play-

Parker: He’s already here though, and it would be rude to tell him to go away. Martha, just one day without piano, pleeeeeaaaaaassssse?

Martha: Hmm, you can practice before bed instead…

Parker: Thank you Martha!

Parker ran to the front door to invite Max inside, and they went upstairs to Parker’s room.
