Yochana runs her slim pale fingers over keys of the old black piano, the Mozart sonata coming to life again, but she sits on the stool a very reluctant pianist, thinking of Benedict who had left 10 minutes before hand to go home. Her mother sits watching her daughter, how she sits, the fingers moving fast, her body moving slow side to side. Yochana remembers Benedict hugging her in his bed (the guest bed), kissing her, their bodies moving slow close entwined, listening out in case her parents' heard any sounds. Not so fast, her mother interrupts, this part is much slower. Yochana slows the pace of fingers, but the touch of fingers, Benedict's, over her still lingers.
