The car needed a new fuel pump—a three-hour job. But as Prince worked, he noticed the small things: a child’s sock wedged under the passenger seat, a grocery list written in shaky handwriting, a crack in the dashboard he couldn't stop staring at.

Prince drove to her address after work. The house was a Victorian in disrepair—peeling paint, a sagging porch. In the basement, under a single bulb, sat the piano. He sat on the bench, dust rising like ghosts. He pressed middle C. The note was flat, tired, but alive.
The next morning, he called the number.
