Lily missed singing. She hadn't done so since the week between Christmas and New Year's - apart from humming to songs as she did things, which to her didn't really count. The past few days had actually been spent (amongst other things) gaining the courage to creep into the 'modern games room', as she called it, and make use of one of the consoles and one of the many singing games they had for them. She would have gone for the piano in the foyer, if that particular instrument didn't remind her of endless jam sessions between her and Drew. He'd play and she'd sing and feel the happiest she'd ever been. No. She wasn't going to sit in front of that piano and allow all those memories to come flooding back into her brain when she was trying to do something she loved. So, a more modern version of karaoke it had to be.

Finally, today, after she had some lunch, Lily crept into the room with the consoles. She found the one she was most familiar with - a PS3, which her roommate owned - and the game they used to play when they had friends over, or even when they didn't. Immediately Lily jumped to her favorite song of the lot, 'Son of a Preacher Man' by Dusty Springfield.

She didn't need to look at the lyrics, knowing them by heart already, and so Lily relaxed into it, not really taking into account that someone might just walk in and spoil her fun. Lily didn't really want an audience, especially not from people she didn't even know.
