Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Where playing once brought solace, it now felt like self-inflicted torture.

Amidst the white keys, sharp silver blades were clearly visible, bloodstained and scattered.

When the final note faded, Nora slumped over the keys, feeling a surge of pain through her palms.
