Ever since that day, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Was it because he was the only person I had contact with aside from my parents and our maid? Probably. But that didn’t stop me.
I dreamt of pink and white houses, weddings… babies. All with a guy I had spoken with for what… 20 minutes?
Still… I had to see him again.
Altair: Yeah… see ya…
Foxglove: That sounds… lonely.
Altair: I manage. I have myself, and I’m pretty darn good company if I do say so myself.
Foxglove: That you are…
Altair: …Um, thanks?
Foxglove: Anyways, I’m working on a pretty big project for Mr. Nova and I should get back to it. Thanks for the piano lesson and, uh, I’ll see you around…?
Foxglove: …I don’t think I did that one right.
Altair: You could say that again.
Foxglove: Sorry, I guess I’m not the best student.
Altair: Don’t worry about it. It’s just nice to talk to someone for a little. We don’t get many visitors around here.
Altair: Alright, so you want to start out in middle C position. Right, here. See, notice how your thumb and index finger make a “c”? You always want to start like that.
Foxglove: Okay, I think I’ve got it.
Altair: I’m going to have you play the C Major scale. Just start with the C note, that’s this one right here and play finger by finger.
Foxglove: Like this?
Altair: Pretty simple right? Let’s try having you start with D and then working your way back down to C again.
Foxglove: Do you mind if I watch you? I’ve never heard anyone play like you before.
Altair: I guess if you don’t have anything better to do.
Altair: …
Altair: …
Altair: …
Foxglove: Why’d you stop?
Altair: It’s kind of hard to concentrate with someone staring you down.
Foxglove: Oh! Sorry… I’m really bad about that. My people skills aren’t exactly the best.
Altair: I’ll say… here. Why don’t you switch me? I’ll teach you a few things.
Foxglove: That’s amazing!
Altair: Wah! Don’t sneak up on people like that.
Foxglove: Sorry…
Altair: It’s fine… you just started me is all. Umm, just who you are?
Foxglove: Oh, sorry. I’m Foxglove, but you can call me Fox. Everyone does. I work for Mr. Nova in the IT department. I’m just here fixing his computer.
Altair: Well, pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Fox. Now if you don’t mind… I’m going to get back to practicing.
Foxglove: That took forever. I’m beat…
Foxglove: Hmm… what’s that? Is someone playing the piano?
Foxglove: Not at all. Just doing my job. While I’m here though, you should probably upgrade your antivirus software and think about beefing up your cyber security system.
Valerian: Do whatever you need to. You’re the best junior programmer we have. I trust you.
Foxglove: That means a lot, sir.
