And now a former client has been found dead and police are eager to bring him in based on nothing more than a few fingerprints found in the victim’s apartment.

Could music be his? Could the haunting melodies be his reprieve? The cry of a bow across the strings his lifeline? Or could his journey to survival begin through me? Through my body, the one he studies as I dance, through my cries of pleasure under his fingertips or his undeniable arousal at my willing restraint...Grief Fairy, you understand me better than anyone. Please help me to relieve his lament.YoursNat
