*Scene opens; Liszt sits in front of his piano, looking out the window at the cloudy sky*
Delacroix Narration: Only one hand brushed a lingering tune of Chopins nocturne; a soft, muffled, sweet, yet cool sound floated about from his touch, shy, unsure, and melancholic as its composer.
As usual, he had planned to finish a work

NOTE: I do not expect to be forgiven for my inexcusable lateness in updating this chapter, but, in a vain attempt to at least obtain some of your pardon, I will try in any case - you see, dear friends, I was striken down by an illness that did not render me bedridden, but did not allow me to move around freely.
However, fortunately - thank God - I am feeling better, and will put in my best efforts to dutifully post new chapters in the future. : )
Thank you, sweet friends, and I apologize.

NOTE: Oh dear God, I've always been a horrible planner, but have been even more so lately - I completely overlooked my schedule for this week and, before I know it, cound find no time to update this chapter at a reasonable hour! Do forgive me, dear friends, as this chapter hardly makes up for my lateness as it is transitional. However, a lot of ideas sprung into my mind over the past week and I can hardly wait to share with with all of you! =D

Since the last chapter was posted more than a week ago, to refresh your memory, Franz had just returned to Paris from Como and immediately sought for Chopinetto's company, but, to his utter dismay, George Sand was also pr

*Scene opens; George Sand remains just out of the opened main entrance into the apartment, looking at Chopin, shocked and unsure of how to proceed*
Chopin: *Stares back at Sand in disbelief at seeing her* *Suddenly snaps his head away, ashamed at his disheveled state*
*Silence reigns between the two; rain continues to fall heavily outside*
Chopin: *Voice weak, barely audible* What are you doing here, George?
Sand: *Blinks, shock slowly ebbing away* *Does not move from her spot* We havent seen each other for weeks, Frederyk. I wanted to

*Scene opens; Liszt sits in front of a table, paper, ink bottle, and pen lying on top, spread out before him as he taps his finger tips against the wooden surface, gazing out the window deep in thought*
*Light frames his figure and softens the edges of his defined features, where everywhere else remains contrasted in light and shadow*
*His eyes are half-lidded and tender-gazed*
*A soft, murmured tune of a lullaby floating about can be heard as Marie, cradling Cosima in her arms, walks by the door

Delacroix Narration: Chopin was cleaning his drawers.
The Polish man had always been one to collect things anything with the slightest bit of emotional value that he couldnt find it in his heart to throw away despite of his limited number of drawers.
Letters were one of the largest heaps of things he collected.
Dumping a mountain of envelopes and papers onto his bed, he began to sort them into categories, and, with a heavy heart, decided which ones to give up so that he may collect

Delacroix Narration: While Franz was enjoying his time in Italy and running down grassy slopes with his daughter in his arms, things were proceeding in an alarming fashion in Paris. I waited a day or two, hoping to hear of positive changes, yet Chopin stayed completely silent and almost nonexistent to me. It was clear that he no longer had the determination to pursue the Hungarian, as the letter, whatever it had said, killed off his motivation qui
