(Tommy's P.O.V.)
"I thought you liked music" Arthur said to my fiance. Leo laughed at him "I do. But not this music" she signed at Arthur. "So what kind of music would you play?" John asked coming into the conversation. Without signing or talking, Leo stood up and walked away, Koda following close behind. No doubt to kick the piano player off. She sat down and began to play a song on the piano that stood in the Lioness. "Is she going to sing?" John questioned turning to me. I nodded as I took a sip of my drink. "Isn't she going to break her vocal cords?" Arthur asked to which again I nodded. "Aren't you going to stop her?". I shook my head "not in a million years". Yes, I hated whenever I saw blood taint her lips after she had talked or more often sang. But when she made her mind up to actually withstand that pain, you best not stand in her way. And don't even get the idea to tell her not to do something. She'll bury you where you stand.

"Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me".

Her voice was still raw, but it was and always will be the sound of an angel.

"Say 'Night-ie night' and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me"

No one dared to move, afraid of making a sound and disrupting her performance. Not because they knew that I was her fiance, but it calmed every man's mind.

"Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this"

Words cannot describe how perfect this song was when she sang it.

"Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me"

She seemed so intranced. Completely out of this world. Ignoring everyone around her.

"Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this"

She was the most enchanting person in the room.

"Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me"

I smiled as I fell in love all over again. She finished the song with playing just a couple more keys. Before standing up while everyone in the Lioness clapped. Another person sat down by the piano and played a song that made the pub lpudly sing along. Drowning out the outside noise. Leo made her way back towards us, Koda close on her tail. Halting in front of me, she leaned forward and took my hankerchief from my pocket. Before placing a quick kiss on my lips. I could taste the blood that tainted her lips. She leaned back to stand upstraight. She turned her head when someone called for her before signing that she'll be back soon. Koda following ones again like the  loyal dog that she is. "She's got you wrapped around your finger, brother" Arthur laughed talking about Leo as I wiped the blood from my lower lip. "Remember what dad used to say" Arthur continued,

 "Remember what dad used to say" Arthur continued,
