She turned to Aria, who was sitting in the chair. Aria’s face flushed red under her gaze.
“I can’t believe you would be able to achieve something like this.” Arietta said as she stared at the sheet music in Aria’s hand. Aria blushed even harder and looked away when Arietta took Aria’s hand and Arietta looked Aria in the eyes. Arietta felt Aria flinch and Aria tried to pull her hand away but Arietta didn’t let her. “I want you to play this.” Arietta said, letting go of Aria’s hands and handing over the sheet music she had been holding onto till now. Aria looked at Arietta and then the sheet music. Aria nodded, stood up and walked to her keyboard, setting it up. Aria sat down on the bench and started playing Arietta’s song. Aria was nervous but she could feel Arietta’s encouraging gaze on her back so it helped with the butterflies in her stomach to calm down. Aria started playing, letting the notes of Arietta’s song flow freely from her fingers. Aria never thought she would be able to play Arietta’s composition but now she was doing it.
