Chapter 2
As he reads over the writing, he quickly realizes that this is a song. He carefully gathers them up and places them in under one of his paperweights.
Meanwhile at M's place, M was desperately searching for the lyrics to a new song she had written. She has already searched her bag twice. She checked all of the rooms upstairs, but had no luck. Then she made her way back downstairs, and began to search there as well. Once again, she came up with nothing.
The next day, M decided to go visit Roderich again. She cut through the field, making her way towards the line of trees on the far side. As she makes her way closer towards Roderich's house, she begins to hear music, slowly becoming louder the closer she gets. Once she gets there, she knocks on the door.
Roderich greets her with a friendly smile, and welcomes her in. "Good evening, M. How are you today?" he asks. M answers "she's fine", mind not particularly focused on what Roderich was saying. Roderich knew she wasn't how she said she was, and asked again, this time using her full name. "Maylinda, vhat wrong? Is zhere somezhing bothering you?" he asks.
The use of her full name snaps her out of her thoughts. "I lost the song I was working on yesterday." she sighed. "I looked everywhere for it and I still couldn't find it." she explains with a sad look on her face. Roderich nods his head in understanding, and starts to head into the room that houses his piano. "Vait here." he says as he makes his way into the other room.
M's eyes light up as she sees him coming back in with a small bundle of papers. As he hands them back to her, she notices that there are more pages than she remembers. "I thought it vould only be fair to create the notes for it since you helped me finish my song zhe ozher day." Roderich says with a shy smile on his face. "Thank you Roderich." M says gratefully.

Time passed quickly for M and Roderich. They met up nearly every day they could manage some spare time. Their friendship had grown immensely since the day they first met. One day, while Roderich and M were out walking in the field, Roderich stopped walking. M noticed and turned to give him a puzzled look. "Maylinda, you und I have been close friends for qvuite a vhile now." he began. "Haha… you're right, Roderich we have."
M laughs a little as she says this. "Maylinda, I have alvays enjoyed your company, und I think I alvays vill." he continues. He only uses M's full name if he is being serious. Roderich then takes a deep breath, pulls out a small black box, and drops to one knee. M is gasps at what Roderich is now doing, and her eyes start to tear up. "Maylinda, vill you marry me?" he asks, opening the box, revealing a band of silver, with a glorious opal nestled on it, staring up at her, awaiting her answer. As M wipes away the tears, Roderich slowly gets thinking that he had upset her, and stands up. "… Yes." she answers.
