It seems like a waste of time not to enjoy it. Which she wouldn't have said five months ago - not about music, possibly about the Spades. It's strange to think that in a way, the Hearts were more...oppressive. But they hadn't meant to be. It was more that she'd never fit there - not like she did here.

The question gives her pause, and makes her fingers still on keys a moment before continuing. "Perhaps...a few times a week." It would be too fast a change to play everyday. Too much like before, when she played everyday in case someone challenged her in piano. That seems unlikely in the Spades.

But she will play more. For fun. Which will be something new for her, as well as new for Chives. "Has it been a good day so far?" she asks as the song ends and she takes a cup of the tea.
