Sometime after the girl had appeared in his corner, Leonard opened his eyes; he saw her dancing and his voice grew unsteady for only a second. Then he found his way back into the song and into the third repetition, the fourth and then it was over.
He glanced at her, then smiled. She was a small girl with reddish hair. He thought he saw her around sometimes.
"Want me to sing another one?"
Her dancing he liked. She was nimble and a bit odd; there was something charming to her graceful movements. And no one was here.
What else was there to do?
Leonard looked at her, expectantly.
"Tell me a song, I'll try to sing it for you. And you dance. But hands off my cap," he decreed, putting out the rules of the game they were about to play.
