Michael picked up his guitar and began to sing softly. Who'd have guessed that the Genovian Palace had its own recording studio? Mia sat outside the booth listening through the speakers.

When I look at you

I see all the things I've dreamed of

I see everything that's perfect

About you.

You lift me higher than I've ever been before

You make me happier than I could ever dream

You are the only one who I want to be with

And I want life to be forever this way.

When I look at you

And hold you in my arms

Suddenly my dreams have all come true

And it's perfect.

Suddenly I want everything

To stay this way forever.

You lift me higher than I've ever been before

You make me happier than I could ever dream

You are the only one who I want to be with

And I want life to be forever this way.

Michael put down his guitar 'Well? How does it sound?' he asked. 'It was great.' Mia replied. 'You used to be great at writing poetry and stuff. You still write?' he asked. Mia nodded 'A little, why?' Michael smiled 'Maybe I could turn a few of those rhymes into songs maybe put them on an album.' 'I don't think so!' piped Mia in shock. 'Hey don't worry, it was just a thought.' Said Michael, 'If you really don't want me to I won't.' she smiled at him - 'It's not that I wouldn't like to hear them as songs.' She whispered. 'I just don't want to hear them on an album.' He smiled at her 'It's okay, I understand.' Michael smiled. 'Come on its lunchtime and I'm starving.' They walked out of the door; Mia was still humming the song.

The telephone rang in Mia's suite, she picked up the receiver. 'Hello?' Her face broke into a grin as she heard her fathers voice on the line.

Mia: Hi Dad! How are you?

Dad: I'm fine, you?

Mia: Great! How's the tour of Europe? Was England okay?

Dad: It's fine. How was Monaco?

Mia: It was wonderful - actually it was very umm.. interesting.

Dad: Lars didn't fight with Anthon again did he?

Mia: No I took Pascal with me. A lot of interesting things happened.

Dad: Is there something you're not telling me?

Mia: Everything's fine.

Dad: Mia what's up?

Mia: nothing, I umm.when are you coming back?

Dad: I should be home in about three days.

Mia: would it be okay if I had some guests flown in from the states? Just Lily and Mom maybe Tina?

Dad: sure I don't mind.

Mia: I'll see you soon - I have to go!

She slammed the phone down on the receiver, her father was left at the other end.

Dad: Mia? Mia?
