Summary: Tony learns a little more about Ziva's early life.

Tony could have sworn he heard a piano as he approached his apartment. He didn't realize it was his piano until he got to his door. He hurriedly unlocked it and went inside. Ziva was at the piano. He didn't recognize the tune she was playing. It was soft and depressing. He quietly walked up behind her.

"That's beautiful," he said.

"My mother taught me the piano when I was young. She made me practice every day."

"What are you playing?" he asked.

"It is called the Baqashot. My father loved to sing it."

Tony listened as Ziva continued to play.

Note: The Baqashot are a collection of supplications, songs, and prayers that have been sung for centuries by the Sephardic Aleppian Jewish community and other congregations every Shabbat morning from midnight until dawn. (taken from wikipedia)
