Costume croisé sartorial en sergé de laine Vitale Barberis Canonico. Demi-entoilé traditionnel, ligne d'épaule naturelle et pantalon ajusté à plis marqués.
He sat on a plain chair in the middle of the empty room, his eyes fixed on the floor, and the room felt far too vast for such an enduring silence.
Through the white paneled doors, the muted hum of the salon drifted in — the rustle of gowns, the clink of crystal against silver, and that polite, distant laughter that always precedes music.
Only minutes remained before his entrance.
He rose, walked slowly toward the window, and with a nervous, almost convulsive motion adjusted the cuffs of his shirt, checking that the sleeves fell without resistance.
His fingers trembled slightly. Tilting his head back, he took a deep, shuddering breath, touched the bow tie at his collar, and let his hands fall again.
What he was certain of was the suit.
The black Italian wool held his shoulders flawlessly, like light, unyielding armor.
The cloth was supple and resilient, devoid of heaviness, softly following every contour of his body and concealing his inner tremor.
He knew with precision how he would step toward the instrument, undo the lower button of the double-breasted jacket with a practiced movement, sit upon the piano bench, and sweep the jacket skirts back.
The wool would drape obediently at his sides, his shoulder blades would remain entirely unrestricted, and the silken lining would allow his arms to glide with effortless ease.
He was almost certain of his playing.
Muscle memory had been honed through years spent before the polished wood of the keys.
In the quiet of the room, his fingers traced Chopin’s phrasing on their own — the tentative opening chords of the Nocturne in C-sharp minor, the anxious, suspended flutter of the trill, and the sudden, flowing cascade of bead-like notes.
He remembered every accent, every rest, every breath drawn between phrases. His hands would not fail him.
And only of one thing was he not certain at all.
He did not know if she would come.
