“Do do ti do la do sol do fa do mi do… 

mi mi re mi do mi ti mi la mi sol mi…”

I was playing *Hanon with excitement. My fingers moved so fluidly that I felt like I was a famous pianist performing on stage.

“Ring ring”…

“Julia, are you playing the piano right now?”

‘Eek, how did my mom find out?’

“The concierge called me. There was a noise complaint from the neighbor upstairs.”

My heart sank and I quickly looked outside the window. The sun had already set.
