The Pianist

Chapter 6: Epilogue

Summary:

Here are your Lego Bricks

I apologise for leaving them in what feels like an unending.
I could not bear to do that and was not ready to let them go, so I wrote this short piece.

The formatting of this is very different. A combination of telephone calls and in-person conversations.
The last is set in a setting of your choice. Personally, I see them cwtched on the sofa in toasty socks, watching a real fire.

It is entirely up to you, my dear readers, to decide the time frame for the following events and the order in which they occur.

Maybe one day, I will return to these two. They hold a special place in my heart, and I mourn leaving them.
I hope you love them too.
