Alex hadn’t had an ear for music before Yassen took him in. It was one of those things that he had never really garnered an appreciation for; to him it was just another pastime, like playing football or collecting coins. It didn’t really matter that much.
But the long nights spent in Yassen’s company-and Tchaikovsky’s, and Rachmaninov’s, and Stravinsky’s-soon opened a whole new world to Alex. A world of moving hymns, of soothing piano concertos and singing violins. A world of cold Russian nights, and warm Russian arms.
A world orchestrated by living hearts, composed of gentle measures.
