p align=center" It's more than a feeling, when a memory comes to play"-michelle
p align=center*===*

p align=leftThe haunting sounds were like a memory as they drifted through the crew's living complex. Melfina had never heard something so beautiful as the music she was listening to right now. The words seemed to speak to her as she sought the source.

p align=left* I woke up this morning...and the sun was gone...turned on some music to start my day...I lost myself in a familiar song...I closed my eyes and I slipped away...*

p align=leftClosing her eyes, Melfina felt blessed just to listen...but who was playing that guitar? Suzuka had vanished after their last adventure, Jim had gone job hunting again, Aisha was home with her family for the weekend and...Gene...could it be Gene?

p align=left* More than a feeling...ohhh...more than a feeling...well...it's more than a feeling...when I hear that old song they used to play...and I begin dreaming...till i see marianne walk away...*

p align=leftWalking towards the main room, Melfina looked up at the balcony walk...Gene was sitting on his lounge chair, silhouetted by the setting sun, playing a guitar...Melfina clasp her hands around the doorway. She wasn't aware that Gene could play, nor, play as well as he was.

p align=left*When I'm tired and I think I'm cold...I hide in my music and forget the day...And I dream of a girl that I used to know...close my eyes and she slipped away...More than a feeling...ohhh...more than a feeling...well...it's more than a feeling...when I hear that old song they used to play...and I begin dreaming...till i see marianne walk away...*

p align=leftMelfina shrank into the dark corner leading to the front door and smiled. She wouldn't tell Gene that she liked his music. This was a memory she would treasure to herself, at least, for now.
