"You're welcome."
Cheeks reddening more, Ammiras looks down, gaze shadowed "And you have talent."

"And you have talent."
He brushes his bangs back from his face, looking at the empty glass. "Thanks."

"Thanks."

"Why don't you share it with the world?"
"I play for the concert house downtown," he replies. "But I haven't sung in front of anyone, at least not in a long time."

Stilling, Ammi sits back with a small frown, confused "What happened to her?"

"What happened to her?"
Rourke hesitates again. "A poltergeist attacked her one night. And I..." He swallows, head lowering a little before he reaches and refills his glass. "I had lowered my guard for the first time since her mother died, and... That was the end of the line."

He looks at her, offering a small smile. "It was years ago."
