The paint spilled all over the floor. Madelyn stared at it for a very long time before quietly getting up toclean the mess. She walked out to search for a mop. In the corridor, a beautiful piano melody filled theair, although she couldn’t pinpoint its
source.
As she was cleaning up while listening to the piano, the unhappiness she felt began to disappear.
It was rare for Madelyn to lose her composure, and she couldn’t explain why she had acted this waytoday.
