class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou would throw that away?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin looked at his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He flexed the fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two barely moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m trying to keep enough of myself to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin rested for seven months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first he felt useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without daily improvement, he didn&#8217;t know how to measure himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He walked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learned to cook badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visited his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He discovered his younger brother had become very funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somehow Evin had missed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His hand improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smallest finger never fully recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He returned to the harp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An hour a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His playing changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some pieces became impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stopped performing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One wrote that Evin&#8217;s technique had \u201cdeclined while his music had strangely deepened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin framed the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, a girl arrived at his house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin listened to her play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better than he&#8217;d been at her age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho taught you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaster Sovel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin&#8217;s hands became still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy did you leave?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The girl looked down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy wrist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoes it hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The girl looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan you make me as good as he would?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin considered lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her face fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut I might help you play longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She thought about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow much longer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we&#8217;re fortunate?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her first lesson lasted forty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end, Evin closed the harp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The girl looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat&#8217;s it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen why stop?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin looked at her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause wanting to continue tomorrow is part of today&#8217;s practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She clearly found this unsatisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin remembered being exactly that age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGo home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat should I practice?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She stared at him as though he&#8217;d lost his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTeacher?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaster Sovel says rest is what people call the time they&#8217;re not improving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe taught me that too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWas he wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin looked toward the old glass harp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer surprised her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe simply forgot that the instrument being improved was attached to a person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The girl flexed her sore wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin opened the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evin watched her walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he closed the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His imperfect hand rested quietly at his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
