Chapter 24: Permanent
The upright piano took four movers, two hours, and one cracked tile.
When it finally stood against the glass wall of the empty room, Linus sat on the bench and pressed a single key.
The note filled the room.
It was a little flat.
"It needs tuning," he said.
"I'll call the man."
"I'll call the man. It's my piano."
"It's your room," Leandros said, in the doorway. "It's your piano. It's your key."
"It's my house."
"Yes," Leandros said.
"I just wanted to hear you say it."
"It's your house, Linus."
It was the third week of March, and the thaw had come.
The harbor beyond the glass was brown and bright, with ice going out in pieces.
A gull sat on the sill and watched the movers go.
Linus's boxes stood in the corridor.
There were forty-one of them, mostly books and cables and sheet music, and a battered guitar case with a patch on one corner.
Quincy had cried at the apartment in Fells Point and packed the kitchen in ten minutes.
Then he had moved into the guest room with three suitcases and a promise ring.
